Quicken is such a powerful tool and has so many abilities, but it's not too difficult to use and can be used for even the most simple tasks.

That it automatically connects with my bank accounts and credit cards

Quicken is the only accounting software that I've found that includes everything. Depending on the version you have, it has every feature you could ask for including automatic download from almost every place you can thing of (and if they can't link to it you need only send them the information and they will work to make it available), bill management with alerts, asset and liability management, net worth and an app to access from your phone. It's very customization and you can separate personal from business for those self-employed. Great software!
