And of course those of us who learned bookkeeping in the old pen and ink
on paper days find this perfectly familiar. We first entered a
transaction in the "journal" and then later posted it to the affected
"ledger" accounts.
So if you use #2 you can think of gnucash as if it were old fashioned
bookkeeping EXCEPT that posting is automatic and free from error
(transcription errors during posting were the bane of every bookkeeper
in those days). It is possible that those new to gnucash but familiar
with the old "first enter into the journal" might actually have a
shorter learning curve using #2.
