Personally,

When I moved over from Money I found GNUCash very usable (personal accounting, no accountants or businesses involved).

The biggest difference is figuring the double-entry accounting, but once I figured that what money called a "Category" is a full blown account in GNUCash (generally an expense account, at least for me).

Once I had that revelation I was off and flying, and can't say I've looked back.

To confirm though, in case you don't figure it out, 2.2.9 is the latest 
STABLE version, 2.3.X are all testing versions (the actual GNUCash page isn't desperately clear on this front). Personally, GNUCash was the final pin in my start of migrating over to a real OS (Ubuntu) and away from Windows, but that's another story!
