Quicken 2015 is an entirely new design, and doesn't offer a way to be more like Quicken 2007. I will say I found it jarring and frustrating at first, but as I have used it for awhile, I find I can pretty easily get to the features I was used to in Quicken 2007 -- to the extent they exist in Quicken 2015.
The new register has pros and cons compared to the classic two-line register. You can add or hide which columns you want visible on a register-by-register basis, re-arrange the column order, narrow or widen specific columns. You can sort the register by any column, just by clicking on the heading (and clicking again sorts in reverse order). And skimming/scrolling up or down a screen looking for something specific is much easier without the old alternating lines. The downside is that if you use a lot of columns, your window has to be quite wide -- not a problem on my iMac, but less than optimal on a MacBook Pro. New in the latest release is a preference for making the lines closer together or wider apart. Hopefully in the future, they'll add other configurable settings, such as font size.
The sidebar on the left is pretty helpful in jumping to any account. And being able to see all accounts, or all accounts of one type (e.g. all credit cards, all investments) b just by clicking on the appropriate heading is a nice plus. Hopefully the the future, they will add options to allow users to further customize the size, order groupings and other aspects of the sidebar.
All I'm suggesting is to give the new interface a chance and you may find it more acceptable than it at first appears. The bigger issues for many users is that there is basic functionality from older Quicken versions which doesn't yet exist in Quicken 2015. For some users, it's no problem at all; for some, there are issues but workarounds; for some, particular missing features make the program unacceptable for them currently. Each of us has different needs and expectations.
