Mary,
that's why they make chocolate and vanilla ice cream.
In almost 25 years of use (back to DOS days), I have never had a major
problem .
I purchase updates only every three years, and for my applications, I
find nothing to compare. I am still running 2014 version, and was going
to update to 2017, but since I hear all sorts of unhappy reports by
users of 2017 version (with new owner of Quicken)......
