To: Liz, the moderator, and the list:
Actually Gnucash seems to strike a strong resemblance to Quicken. The
data entry in the journal mode with no payee in the check or source
account entry (from cash, checking, or credit cards), and where the
amounts of the entry change in during the data entry process, and where
errors, often based on changing amounts (2 debits, etc.,) are hidden
from the user.
It makes sense that users of the Intuit family of products want to
leave, due to some of their business practices; and some desire to use
an operating system that is not founded on enhancing the profits of the
publishers at the user's expense.
I watch Gnucash for fixes to these problems, but all I see are
justifications of why they exist. A 'preference' switch to allow users
who are familiar and comfortable with the 'Intuit Way' to continue, vs.
those with accounting knowledge who want a transaction to look like a
transaction, could have it that way, is a possibility. The end result
would be a transaction posted to the appropriate accounts.
I use a DOS program run under Dosemu in Ubuntu, written by 2 programmers
who sold their program to Intuit. Intuit buried their program, "In
House Accountant", and use some of its code in Quickbooks. I declined
their offer to 'switch'.

You're getting very defensive here David and your posts are not

Gnucash is Gnucash.
It isn't a Quicken-to-Gnucash project.
Yes, we do get many queries about this, but the process once completed
is soon forgotten, and while there is much knowledge about this in the
mailing lists, Quicken-to-Gnucash is not the main focus of this project.
Nelson, you are free to try and do what you like, except start personal
attacks on other contributors.
Liz, the moderator.
(Profanity is also something I heavily discourage)
