No, it's pretty easy to use but not particularly easy to install, at
this time, on a Mac.

If you are not willing to put up with an X11 program, which doesn't
look like anything else you are probably used to on OS X, and can't or
won't install a program that needs to be complied, although Fink or
Darwin Ports makes that a little easier, GnuCash on OS X may not be
for you.

If you are willing to install X11 (it's on your Mac install disks) and
go through the steps necessary to get GnuCash up and running, you'll
probably like the program. It's quite powerful and flexible.

Check the documentation, download and install Fink. There are a number
of people on this list who have Macs and love GnuCash and are willing
to help.

Which version of OS X are you running?
