I think these debates are all pretty much the same:
TurboTax vs TaxCut
Rent vs own
Mortgage vs debt-free
Stocks vs bonds
Active management vs index funds
Windows vs Mac
Designated hitter vs no DH
Tastes great vs less filling.

I haven't noticed any differences in the process of doing our taxes before or after retirement. We have more free time to get it done but we still wait until the last minute for fear of 1099 revisions. (And welcome to the world of K-1s, which are timed to arrive the day AFTER you file!)

I believe TaxCut is usually less expensive, but then TurboTax works very hard at a rebate system that ensures no user pays the same price for their software.
