General Thanks and Remarks

[Stephan Pouh]

Due to the recent rather heated discussions about encryption and whether this 
should be a feature I find it appropriate to simply state a few facts about 
my experience with GC.
I have been using Gnucash for almost 4 years. It is an invaluable tool for me 
to keep track of my financial health.

Even though I am not entirely happy with the handling of Investments (an issue 
found to be priority 2 by the developers) I have to admit that the program 
does almost everything I want and a few things more I never bothered to check 
out. It is STABLE AND continues to be SUPPORTED. These are probably the two 
most important "features", when all your financial data are in a file.

For purposes of tracking my investments, which I could certainly do on a piece 
of paper the size of a stamp ;) , I use "interest". Unfortunately, it is no 
longer supported/updated and online updates of stock prices do no longer  
work. Needless to say I am not good enough with computers to fix it myself, 
or maybe just too lazy.

I have been trying to use KMyMoney for this purpose, however, it is not yet 
really stable (crashes frequently on me) and reports are slower than in 
GnuCash, which aren't that fast to begin with - seems to be general issue 
with accounting programs(?).

Therefore, thanks to the developers of GnuCash, their efforts, time, ideas and 
seemingly fathomless good humor.

Stephan
