Never been a big fan, but stuck with it due to sheer inertia (aka laziness). Plus, my CPA mandated it for tax prep. ;-) Since jumping into Intuit's online billing world about three months ago, I can honestly say using QuickBooks to send invoices is the single most painful day of each month. We used to print each invoice to PDF and email them as attachments. I thought *that* process was ugly, but then I was introduced to Online Billing Solutions and credit card processing. It's a never-ending nightmare comprised of poor customer service, horrible feature set and only a tenuous link between the "online" and "offline" components. Yesterday afternoon was the breaking point for me. I haven't even seen FreshBooks in action, much less used it, but anything has to be better than QB. And I only send out a couple dozen invoices each month!!! Looking forward to evaluating FreshBooks. My fingers are crossed.
