My two pennyworth is similar. I moved over to Macs from Windows and was looking for an accounting program. Many were all whizz-bang dial and graphs and bright primary colours and all sorts of clutter that I found confusing and unnecessary, when all I wanted was a simple transaction register that could be edited and entered inline, without additional 'entry' windows popping up all over the place. I tried lots and settled on the sea of calm that is Gnucash, which does exactly what I want. Sure, it has it's quirks - don't we all, and that is what makes us us and Gnucash Gnucash.
Gnucash is maintained and supported for free to the user by people who have other things to do, and to whom we owe thanks and gratitude for their unpaid efforts. We don't have to use it, one can always 'jump ship' to some other package that will have its own set of problems to be encountered. I imagine that most of GnuCash's changes are requests for features, bug fixes or forced changes by outside entities such as banks changing their protocols. There is no perfect software, no software that will suit all and sundry and their offspring. Even pen and ink has its problems, pens running out or just stopping, paper getting snagged, tearing or bleeding the ink through or plain old knocking the ink bottle all over it. As the French say '*C'est la vie*', or as the English say 'Tough Titty, that's the way it is' _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
