Yes, like many others I have been waiting eagerly for the 2.0 release, but to be honest, for a finance app the most important thing is that it's stable, rock-solid, so your data is ok. You must be able to trust the app, otherwise you'll have to start searching for some missing transactions and seek for wrong numbers.
In course of this year, things got buggy with MoneyWell. Wrong (and after restarting the app: changing) numbers, missing transactions. That cost me a lot of time. I am not a beta tester! Especially syncing with the iPhone app caused problems. Probably NoThirst had dropped maintaining the sync because they were developing their new Dropbox sync (now you sync using Dropbox, they killed syncing over Wi-Fi).
Apart from Dropbox-syncing there was nothing really new for the last one-and-a-half years. The iPhone app was the last big improvement. Every request to the developer is answered by promising everything will get better in version 2.0, which will ship in summer 2025. I've often wondered if version 2.0 can live up to the bold announcements, but then again, there are other apps that improve in small but steadily steps.
However, I cannot wait any longer. What really bothers me isn't the slow development but the poor maintenance of the existing app.

I understand things can go wrong and there can be delays...but if someone would just post an approximate date for v2.0 there might be hundreds of sales saved from those of us who have patiently waited for this but can't wait any longer. I'm ready to jump ship to SEE Finance if I don't hear something soon.

All new customers purchasing MoneyWell 1.7 will also receive a free upgrade to our 2.0 release—planned for the fourth quarter of 2011. MoneyWell 2.0 is being designed specifically for OS X Lion and takes advantage of many of its new features....Our 2.0 release is making decent progress and we are in a fifth round of private testing. Once we start our public beta test, we will be announcing more details about our new Lion-enhanced app.
So we'll see if they match their promise this time. As for the 1.7 performance on Lion, I've yet to get it up & running. The Dropbox feature is nice, especially for iOS users.

I downloaded several trial versions: iBank, Money, iCash, Moneywell, Fortora Fresh Finance, SquirrelApp...
After really testing and trying to use them as I'd do every day, I shortlisted Moneywell and SquirrelApp.
The reason I chose Moneywell is simple: it is the only one providing an importing feature with an easy choice of date and amount formats.
Jumsoft's Money was OK until I tried to import a csv file: impossible to import a column showing positive and negative amounts: you have to separate them in the file before importing.
iBank is very good... but absolutely not user friendly (at least for me).
iCash was crap, from the beginning. Hate the interface and the buggy software.
Fortora Fresh Finance is very good. Almost bought it... but some bugs occured during my final tests...
Squirrel was great: cheap, user friendly and with a great feature: tags. Great for in depth budget analysis.
Importing was a pain, though: difficult to choose formats efficiently. Had to do imports all over again...
I tried many others, but deep testing only for these.
Moneywell was my choice and I don't regret it for a second.
Powerful, easy to use and very efficient. Great!
