I need to find some time to figure out how to escape Quickbooks. Right now, my business is too brisk to allocate time to other solutions. In 2 years, when I go into a partial retirement mode, I believe I will be able to make the transition. 

I use Quickbooks for a few functions, one of which is nothing more than a check register. I can move those functions over to Quicken pretty easily. It's the time tracking and invoicing function that I may force into a simple Excel spreadsheet.
