Before you claim to make such decisions based on "what the normal user wants", then, I suppose you need to agree on how to obtain the desires of "the normal user". If not through feedback on gnucash-users, then how? How will you ever know what "the normal user" wants, if not through some feedback mechanism? You should also define "the normal user". Is it an average of feedback from users, the loudest feedback, the closest feedback (e.g. our spouses or partners), the most feedback (popularity vote), or ??? If everyone is on the same page regarding that, then you may have an easier time deciding what "the direction" of gnucash "ought" to be. Then again, this is open source. You also need to be interested in coding features in order to put forth the effort.
