You speak only for yourself, but you pretend to speak for
others.
Intuit is in business to make a profit, not to guarantee that
YOU will be 100% happy with their product.
The terms you used to describe the features you found
"worthless" are totally subjective. Terms like: "trivial" and
"dubious".
The bottom line is that you can not support your false claim
that new Quicken features are "worthless" ... even after being
asked to do so. It is very clear that you think you should get
special treatment that is not possible.
If you don't like Quicken, you are free to buy another product
you like better, or build one yourself. Because you know that
no better alternative is available ... you should know that your
complaint is illegitimate.
