question about features

Gnucash is Free software. We don't have customers, we have users.

No. Gnucash is built entirely around double-entry bookkeeping. We provide
a Concepts Guide (http://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?rev=2.4&lang=C&doc=guide)
to help you get started.

There is a budget feature which you can configure to any period you like.

Yes, any transaction may have any number of splits as long as it balances -- that is,
as long as the amounts added to accounts are equal to the amounts deducted
from others.
