Gnucash vs. QuickBooks

[Denise M. Kauf]

I would like to get opinions from Gnucash users on how Gnucash compares
to QuickBooks. I am trying to help someone determine if they can start
using Gnucash instead of QuickBooks. What are the pros and cons of
Gnucash compared to QuickBooks. Can any user comfortably use Gnucash or
do you need to be a programmer? Thanks.
