I forgot to mention that there is a corresponding iPhone/iPod touch app that syncs fully with the desktop version. I absolutely love the app, and it's a great way to enter transactions on the go, to be synced to the full version later.

I've been a customer for 1.5 years, so I know how slow development is. I did note in my review that the slow development is the biggest con to this application. The updates have been coming out constantly, it's just that the 0.82 version (multiple currency support) was in beta for nearly a year, going through 17 or 18 different beta iterations. 0.82 was just released yesterday, as a matter of fact.

Regardless, Squirrel works for me, it's elegant, simple, fast, and the developer is responsive. I do have some minor quibbles, but there's nothing so major as to make me switch to another program.

As for your comments on developer collecting user data, that's just not true. I had heard this rumor before, so I fired up Little Snitch, and examined if and where any information was being sent. The only time information gets sent is when it is checking for updates, or when the user utilizes the built in browser, both of which can be avoided if the user wants to.
