[GNC] Moving to Gnucash 3

[Geert Janssens]

David,

You keep saying this. While I respect your choice to stay on the safe side, 
the only way to know if gnucash 3.x works for you is to test it. That's pretty 
easy in Windows.

So I encourage you to run a few tests on a backup of your data file and 
evaluate how good or bad that works out. I'd love to hear your personal, 
first-hand experience instead of how you're currently expressing concerns 
based on what you've read.

There are issues, but it's not like gnucash 3.x has suddenly become completely 
unusable.

Regards,

Geert
