I have tried pretty much all of them.. GNUcash was WAY too complicated, 
and the layout was counter intuitive.... 
The best one for my money (And I paid a small fee for a licence about 
$49, though they do have a trial version) was MoneyDance. While it did 
suffer from "visual style designed by engineers" which is never really 
very good, it had pretty much everything that Quicken has, including 
Cash, bank, and credit accounts, budgeting, direct connect to a fair 
number of banks, check register, bill reminders, etc... 
I found it to be pretty easy to use once I got used to 'its' way of 
thinking... Definitely worth a download and the time to install if you 
are looking for a *nix alternative to MSMoney or Quicken
