On: Plainbudget: Minimalist Plain Text Budgeting

I really like the budgeting approach in YNAB, but the software could do with some more reporting capabilities, as well as being able to track investments and so on.

I've never found the 'perfect' piece of personal finance software that works for me. Some people say MS Money Sunset is the one true way but it sounds like a pain to get working on OSX.

Could never get on with the double entry approach in ledger or GNU cash, the workflow/approach just doesn't feel intuitive to me and I struggle with it.

Completely agree. Reporting in YNAB is a weakness, and investment tracking is downright silly.

I have to manually go in and update my balance for investments once/month or so. They're set up to "track", but functionally do not.
