Hello all

I admire what you are trying to do and wish to support you with some 
feedback.

My usecase: "We want to see whats happening to our money."

I downloaded and installed gnucash a couple of days ago because the need 
arose to manage our accounts. After connecting to online banking 
services and downloading all our transactions I got everything working 
perfectly. AWESOME!!  Problem solved I thought as I proceeded to the 
reporting to pull out some data for my partner...

What a disappointment. The stock reports are imo ugly and inadequate for 
our use case. We are interested in cash flow and the editing options for 
this report are minimal. Very minimal.

Being a qualified programmer I investigated the options for customising 
our reports somehow. I quickly found the answer to all of my reporting 
woes. I have to learn not one, but two obscure programming langages, 
namely guile/eguile and scheme.

In conclusion: I can't be bothered. I will have a look for something 
else that can output beautiful, professional and, if necessary, 
customizable reports.

I will report back with my findings if you like.
