Well, I agree in part, but I use GTT and it's a useful tool; it does let
you tie time in with projects to some extent (though there's no
hierarchy of projects, at least not as of the release I use).  

In terms of integrating it with other tools, I think the big, big win
would be in integrating GTT with MrProject.  MrProject has been getting
cool at an accelerating pace lately, but it really wants a time and
progress tracker to go with it. 

I think I agree with Derek that there are too many free variables for
integration with a billing system but it sounds like using XML file
fragments will be easy, so <shrug>.  In terms of the importing (gnucash)
side, that's functionality that we need anyway.
