I have to agree. I started using Wesabe about 4-5 months ago and it made my life so much easier.
As a college student, I really need to stay on a budget. I had been doing everything in Excel - I'd download the reports from my bank account as CSV, then go line by line and rename them as what they really were (their descriptions aren't helpful at all). It took forever, and some months I'd put it off which would make the work stack up even more.
But after finding Wesabe, all that changed. I just go in once a month, click "Update" and it downloads all the information for me, and renames it all based on what I've renamed it to in the past AND what others have renamed it to.
I'm a huge fan of the service.

Quicken does far, far more... though it isn't a "web 2.0" "service"
if you're making the leap to tracking monthly finances and budgets, just go whole hog and use Quicken...

I'm a recent convert to Wesabe as well. It is truly amazing and IMO blows Quicken out of the water. I won't go into detail here (I'll post on it in next couple of weeks) but I'd almost consider dropping my startup plans to try to go work with these guys!
The 2 areas that I've long thought are ripe for a web-based app are (1) a better way to manage one's time, and (2) a better way to manage one's money. I think Wesabe has nailed the latter and will be huge.
I'm still waiting to see someone do the former right but I've high hopes for the combined OmniOutliner + Kinkless GTD app that's supposed to be in the works.
