Actually I would describe it as a parody of double entry accounting, because 
you cannot actually check as easily the positive and negative balances with 
quicken (not quickbooks) as with gnucash.
My experience was that with quicken my accountant charged me much more for the 
time involved in straightening out the mess in which i had my books, and the 
same accountant prefers me using gnucash because i can keep the positives and 
negatives in the right columns.
so really, I could do heaps more with quicken than gnucash, but the accountant 
didn't like it and charged me more for the privilege.
