This is becoming a good, healthy discussion, with a variety of viewpoints that make for interesting reading.
But to those who seem to think that starting over is *always* a bad idea, I'd ask you if you'd like to be running Windows 3.1.14159/MSDOS 19 on your PCs, instead of something based on Windows NT? Or would you like to still be running the original Mac OS on your Macbooks (which would need a Motorola processor or something to deal with the code written in 68k assembly language) and have the whole system fall over when one application goes nuts? It's very difficult to make sensible blanket statements in a complex business like this. Yes, I agree that starting over is a big decision that has to be carefully justified on risk/benefit, cost/benefit grounds. As I said in my original post, I don't know if Gnucash is at that point, because I haven't done the homework. But I do think it's important for people who do know this system well to give the option consideration at a time when attempts are being made to solve major, designed-in problems, and also to take advantage of contemporary tools. /Don _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
