I can say the migration process wasn't easy, but wasn't too hard. I was able to do it and got it up and running with all my old quicken data. I can't remember the number of years of quicken data, maybe 5-10 years or more. I've probably been with gnucash for about 10 years maybe. After all is

I won't comment on whether the migration process has become simpler over the years, as I haven't done it in about as long.  There has been a huge amount of discussion over the years on the question of migration from Quicken (usually tied either to the beginning of a new calendar year, or the

Hi all, I am looking for, well, some assurance here. How many of you migrated to GnuCash from another financial product? If you did, what did you migrate from? How much data did you have to migrate? And would you do it again knowing what you know now? I am currently using MYM12 with 34 years
