I've been looking for something as well, most of the account management programs all seem to want to emulate a checkbook which I haven't used in a decade.
I've been using Personal Capital on my tablet but its a "cloud based" so its slow and only works when I'm connected so I need to find something better.

Moneydance. The only regret is non-free, but the data format is xml and import/export tools are very good, imo. Used it to get off MS Money wabac when all the internets were dial-up.

Also used Gnucash for a while, have the packt book. Could not get the reporting right so migrated to sql-ledger, and much later back to Moneydance again. Less time spent on better reports.

The tar.gz "install" works fine on Slackware. Same profile works with Slackware, Debian stable|testing, OSX. Very handy if you don't want to use the built-in sync tool, just drag n drop the folders where you want to run, Mozilla-like. For no reason (tin-foil?) I avoid the online banking stuff and manually download and import my online accounts. It's flexible.

A correction (from another long-time Moneydance user on Slackware): Moneydance data storage is not XML. It is a proprietary text-file format. There is an XML export format that can be reimported.
