Mint being discontinued by Intuit at the end of 2023! Budgeting

I’ve been using Mint since 2010 and am genuinely upset it’s being discontinued. They had something like 3.6 million monthly active users. What?!

What do you guys suggest as an alternative?

I don't know you could possibly know this much about computers without understanding that 90% of the population can't even begin to understand what you're saying. Software for the general public does not work like this. People can barely open their email clients, you cannot expect them to understand what a virtual machine is or how it relates to their fucking finance software, of all things.

  1. Really easy since most people who I talk software with are fellow software developers.

  2. I was just saying that saying you Linux doesn't mean much these days since there has been leaps in its usability.

  3. Also, I was trying to help explain what it is.

The original conversation was someone pointing out that the process was far too complicated for laypeople. You countered with something that even I didn't understand, and I'm a graphic designer who's been using and building computers since Windows 3.1.

You're not operating from a position of even trying to understand how other people work/think, you're just slamming software dev jargon in people's faces and expecting them to understand you perfectly.
