Hi Scott, This took some getting used to when I moved from Quicken 7 years or so ago. The categories become accounts. This is required for double entry accounting and makes sense. When you pay your electric bill, money moves from checking to the electric company. GNUCash has to show money moving between accounts. Once I got my head around it it was pretty simple.
