Yeah, I have the same problem with Quickbooks at work. Gnucash uses
double
account entry, while Quicken does not. Although I understand that for the
accoutants among, double entry is the more correcter way to do things, I
don't really have the same feel for it that I have with Quicken's way of
doing it. For work, it isn't a big deal because the accountants review the
books and give me a proper summary each month, but at home I don't want to
have to figure things out.

Yeah, I would too. I actually paid for Kapital, from theKompany. I did so
something like two years ago; I paid for the download distribution, which I
couldn't get installed (although I should point out that the people from
theKompany where very helpful in getting the problems sorted out). I decided
to wait for the "final" version to be released, but every time I check their
website (last time about a month or so ago) it seems that the "final" release
hasn't happened yet, so I've never actually tried this product.
