I think the inclusion of the split transaction example (the paycheck) is a little too much to chew for a new user this early in the Concepts Guide. I like the other examples that involve 2 accounts (buying groceries and the simple income example)... but I think that a split transaction is something most new users need some time to understand. And, in this section, I think we are really just trying to get people to grasp the concept of double entry.
So, I propose to remove the split transaction example. Comments? Objections?
I think we should still *reference* the fact that you can do multiple account transactions, and give a link to a later part of the documentation that explains split transactions in more detail (chapter 4).
Nice side effect of this is to make this section shorter. It is pretty long as it is.
