Comment on Mint sucks, so why aren't there any real competitors in that space?

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I loved Microsoft Money. Yes, it was bloated and had tons of features I'd never use, but it did everything I needed it to. My biggest issue with Mint is the lack of proper Bill Payments. I don't necessarily need to be able to pay bills from Mint, but when it tells me a bill is due tomorrow and I don't pay it tomorrow, I want it to keep telling me it's past due until I mark it as reconciled or something of that nature. Instead, Mint just assumes I pay everything on time and stops reminding me. There again, perhaps I'm in the minority, but I'd imagine it's a pretty large minority in this economy that doesn't always have the luxury of paying everything right when it's due. I know they're more geared towards analyzing what you've spent, but I wish they'd consider adding more features outside of that specialization.
