this is called a feature. It allows you to customize the imports of your 
data so that you aren't necessarily forced to pigeon-hole your data in 
exactly the same way as you did in the other program. Then it remembers 
that customization for the next time.

major flame-bait dude. see the other massive thread about this subject. 
it gets really ugly. Gnucash has a learning curve just like any other 
software. I'm 4 months into it and love it and won't look back. yeah it 
was a PITA in the first month or so, but that doesn't detract form my 
current experience at all. In fact, it really added to it as I now know 
more about how the program works than I'd know if it had been smooth and 
easy...
