Using the Sqlite backend I get one file that I can either use an sqlite viewer/query editor on, or using piecash, query directly for any custom report I want that isn’t offered by GnuCash. And I don’t have to mess with a MySQL db server. (which is fine, but if you don’t really *need* to...) I also get instant saves as I enter each transaction so no waiting around while it writes that massive file back to disk every 10 minutes or so. Let that temptation sink in.
