MOST OF THE COMMENTS I HAVE SEEN RELATE TO QUICKEN RATHER THAN QUICKBOOKS. THE PROBLEMS WITH QUICKEN ARE WORSE IN QUICKBOOKS, AND EVERYTIME YOU TURN AROUND, THEY WANT TO CHARGE YOU MORE MONEY. TWO QUESTIONS I HAVE IN PARTICULAR...IS THERE ANY PRACTICAL LIMIT TO FILE SIZE IN GnuCash? MY QB FILE IS APPROACHING 500,000 KB AND RESPONSE IS BECOMING SLOW. SECOND, DOES GnuCash HAVE A PAYROLL CAPABILITY? THIRD, CAN IT LINK TO ACT! 2010? I AM LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT FOR QUICKBOOKS PRO 2008 AND AM CONSIDERING GnuCash.

It is now the first test I do before installing a new distro: if it doesn't include Gnucash, it doesn't get installed. Fortunately, most do. The Windoze version works too, except that it seems to have little tussles with printer drivers sometimes. I’ve been using Gnucash since 2004 and have been delighted with its performance.

There seems to be no way to track investment basis or capital gains when sold.

However, I prefer Quicken to GNU Cash. Not being the financial expert, GNU Cash's learning curve was too steep for me. It just didn't make intuitive sense, whereas Quicken does.

I'm currently on version 2007 and wishing I had stuck with 2006. Unfortunately reviews of 2008 and 2009 indicate the program is continuing it's downhill run. I am wondering if there are any recovering Quicken users who made the jump to GnuCash. And if so is there anything done so differently or features missing that it took you a while to adjust?

Does GnuCash support Paypal integration? I've been thinking of trying out Quicken but I guess it is customized for USA and not outside. BTW, I think you have a scraped pingback above.
