My wife used GnuCash for a while, but stopped.  I forget why.
I think the big issue people have with GnuCash is the double-entry.
It apparently makes more sense once you're used to it, and is
more accurate, but it takes a while to get used to.  And typical
"accounting software for Joe/Jane Average consumer" doesn't do it
that way... or something. ;^)

It's worth mentioning that a new GnuCash came out recently. :^)
(So the ancient reviews are even less relevant.)

How's that for a useless answer? ;^)
