Hi,
I just filled out your survey - thanks for asking. A couple of
points deserve more than a simple yes/no or 1-5 rating. Here are a few
comments:
1) Ease of installation - when my distro (RH) uses the same version of
gnome as gnucash, it is plenty easy. When that's not true, it takes
more time than I'm willing to spend. In that case, I just wait for RH
to fix the problem for me. (Between home and work I maintain 8
machines and decided about a year ago that, being a scientist and not
a sysadmin, if I was to stay productive and have a life I needed to
stop doing most things that required more than rpm -Uvh). This is not a
complaint. I understand that developers and distribution packagers have
different criteria for when to switch. Just a piece of reality from
someone who is neither a newbie or a hacker.
2) Tax preparation - While I'm not willing to pay for most things, I would
pay for tax preparation. I currently pay H&R Block $20 each year to use
their web-based system. Although designed for use by a browser, it is
still MS oriented and marginal w/ Linux. I need some confidence that
you guys know tax law though, since I really don't have time for an IRS
audit. It may take a parnership with some one like Block to convince
me, I'm afraid. I'd pay $40 a year for this.
3) Gnucash is by far the best non-geek-oriented app I have used. Great
work guys. I much prefer it to Quicken and only miss the scheduled
transaction feature.
Best regards,
Scott Wilburn
