Rich,

Thanks for your reply. The point of the comment was that the UI seemed
cluttered with many features I did not need, and I could not find a way to
turn them off. For simple input of transactions and classification of those
transactions into categories, GnuCash has a much simpler UI. I also did not
find the UI very appealing.

However, that has to be balanced with what the business needs, and I agree,
a web interface can be valuable at times.

Mark
