This whole QBW / IIF format thing is a red herring. IIF can be considered as
CSV for all intensive purposes.

Users could more easily move from Quickbooks to gnucash with:

  1. Some sort of guideline on the process (the FAQ is pathetic).
  2. An explanation of the best way of getting transaction information out
of Quickbooks and loading it into gnucash.
  3. A CSV import process for the Chart Of Accounts (>> RFE <<) would be
nice but it is probably not a big issue if the transaction import works
well.

So 1&2 just come down to a bit of guidance from someone that has done it.
