The really frustrating thing about Quickbooks is that, while it's easier to setup and use that SQLedger, it's still not that easy to use, but it DOES integrate well with US banks.

Which, unfortunately, is more the banks doing than anything about these programs.
Thus, you occupy precisely the opposite position of the average computer user who a) knows only Windows and is not really interested in learning anything else, and b) regards the command line as somethning just to the left of witchcraft, to be avoided whenever possible. I don't like that any more than you do, but that's our market.
Apple seems to be doing a good job of making both groups happy. There isn't any particular reason that Linux couldn't as well. It's just that most of the Linux developers are in the same camp. Having a partly working GUI is frustrating. It's not like the Windows GUI environment is really all that good. It's just what people are used to. It's also where all of the software is.
