Well, we're in the habit of writing checks and entering them into
Quicken/GnuCash at that time. So if we downloaded QIFs we would have
them twice and we'd still have to fix up the QIF entries. The
scheduled transactions let us do everything in full detail without
messing with downloaded QIFs.
I suppose if I were adventurous enough, I could work on a Scheme
script or two to do this....
