Use it to track E*TRADE, personal and joint checking accounts, savings account, and credit card. Plus setting up a budget workseet. There's a free version on the site, but I shelled out the $25 or so to buy it. The only way it could be improved was if there was a button that would automatically download each account's data. Right now I go to each site, download a .QIF statement and import it. It's seamless importing, but that extra step could be solved. I am waiting for MyMint to come out and see what it can do.

All of the major banks and programs such as MS Money USE Yodlee to obtain and categorize the remote banking info. Basically it automatically downloads all your web-enabled bank accounts transactions, categorizes them (manual is option) and creates reports based on the info. You can set budgets as well, so when your Dining/Restaurant expense reaches $200 for the month it will send you and email. It has tons of features, and puts my old Wesabe to SHAME. Can't recommend it enough. Yodlee is ridiculously free - go to http://corporate.yodlee.com and sign up (bottom of the page). Star is correct – the absolute best tool is Yodlee.
