A few comments on chapter 3 of the tutorial and guide, "organizing your
accounts".
When I first read the chapter I found it to be a little confusing. It
begins with a comparison of balance sheet accounting as compared to
categories. Comparing the GnuCash way with the Quicken way (I guess).
I think it would be cleaner if instead we presented the GnuCash
recommended way first, and then compared it to other methods later (the
compoarison of accounts and categories). Heck, maybe a separate
chapter. It seems a bit less convoluted that way... to me.
Basically, this would just mean inverting the order of section 3.1 and
3.2 and changing the introduction a little.
Thoughts?
Do we really want to push the idea that it is *possible* to set GnuCash
up "the quicken way" with 2 main categories, income and expenses? Since
the reports heavily depend on the main 5 account types being present...
