Wow. I've been very happily using Gnucash for years now and have been
subscribed to this newsgroup for about as long and can't remember seeing a
spoiled-brat attitude to rival yours. There's a *huge* difference between
free and not free, a distinction apparently lost on you. The people who
developed and develop Gnucash (and the rest of Gnu, Linux, FreeBSD, etc.) do
so  from a sense of sharing and community. You are behaving like an
aggrieved customer of a commercial product, which you are not. Derek's
invitation to provide some code if you don't like the way things are is a
core principle that makes the open source/free software world such a
wonderful oasis in the money-grubbing world in which we live. You clearly
don't understand that. With your attitude, you'd be better off with a
Windows box, buying money-management software from Intuit or Microsoft. When
you have complaints, which you will, you will not be "imposed upon" to
contribute code. You will also have zero chance of having your complaint
addressed. Enjoy!
