Maybe on the mailing list. I don't recall exactly. I did have have
some conversations about you about some features. I think in the end I
discovered SL got out of my way and did the job, were as GC couldn't.

I recall maybe the biggest issue was dealing with Sales Tax.

I was a little tongue in cheek with that comment.  Most of the time
involved with a package is spent after the install period. The install
time really isn't that important, plus the slow progress of G2 is
making gnucash risk being dropped from some distributions.

I don't doubt you. I guess my slight unhappiness stems from my opinion
that gnucash might be further along being a better Personal Finance
application if it had concentrated on that solely.
