I use LC and I am mostly happy with it, and sometimes happy with tech support.  h

Would you comment on your second point?  focus less on financial services and extended tax practice tools.  I don't know what you mean by financial services and extended tax practice tools. I see Intuit LC spending time and making effort to assist with CPA advisory services.  I appreciate those efforts as it is mostly "free" learning and advisory is likely a good service for me to do soon.  Are you speaking about advisory/Planner and/or Intuit Tax Advisor?
