I thought it was very constructive - it's a very loud heads up that you
guys are focusing on the wrong things in your development. I can well
understand you will take the critism personally, but the fact remains
that in it's current state gnucash needs some serious bug fixing.

I call data previously entered either going missing or being changed a
pretty catastophic problem.
I am quite willing to start tracking down bugs, but every concurrent bug
that affects the program makes the program more and more difficult to
debug. Which bug am I looking at? Tracking down and killing the bugs
sooner rather than later makes the job easier for all of us. My
suggestion, as I said before, is to make a concerted effort to track
down the bugs now rather than letting them pile up making the problem
worse exponentially.
Gnucash as a package shows a lot of promise, but it reamins useless
until it works. Just saying "it works for me" isn't good enough, it has
to work for everybody.
Regards,
Graham
