I personally stayed on Quicken 2007 until the end of last year when I finally moved to 2017. I have been using Quicken since version 1 so I have my entire banking and investment history in Quicken. I heard all the complaint with Quicken money, 2015 and 2016 so I stayed away and had no choose but to move to 2017 because 2007 was no longer support on Sierra. There are a few feature which I miss from 2007, but they fix a number of issue with online banking specifically with investments account which was not supported in 2007. Over all 2017 works well, and organized things better than 2007 did. Personally I am not going to 2018, no need to pay Quicken to help me optimize my investments. The only issue i have is the online balance in the mobile app not matching what I show on the Mac, this is has been an on and off issue with Quicken 2017.

If you are manually updating Quicken you can download the patches from the link below and apply them. On the General preferences tab un-check the Automatically Download Quotes option. If you opt-out of automatic quote downloads, Quicken will not attempt to download quotes and prices history when you launch Quicken. Instead you can go to any Portfolio View and click the Update Quotes button.
For those who switch to other banking software, I played with them all, and yes Quicken did not keep up, mostly from GUI stand point, but those other software were simplistic, especially when it came to investment activities. If all you were doing was checking and credit cards they were probably fine. I personally like how Quicken use to minor your check registry. But time moves on and no one really records checks in their registry anymore. Hell I hardly write a check today. I mainly use Quicken to monitor all my various investment accounts. Since using online balance reconciliation I had very few issues.
