How do _you_ use GNUCash for personal finances?

[Patrick Doyle]

Thanks to all who have patiently and gently tried to educate me over
the past couple of days.  This has led me to ask myself the very
fundamental question, "What do I want my financial management software
to do for me?"  And I've realized that I don't really know the answer
to that question.

So I thought I would turn the question around:

How do _you_ use GNUCash to manage your personal finances?

Did you write a blog about it?
-- Lance Edgar pointed me at these three educational links:

http://allmybrain.com/2009/04/08/gnucash-budget-followup/

Did you describe it on this list?
-- feel free to point at your post in the archives.

If there is enough of a response, I would be happy to summarize the
responses on the Wiki.
