It would take a LOT more experience with double entry bookkeeping to 
keep a set of books using spreadsheets (which obviously can mimic the 
way we used to do bookkeeping in the pen and ink on paper days)

What gnucash IS is a partial automation of standard double entry 
bookkeeping (that is STANDARD bookkeeping). You get to enter 
transactions directly into the ledger instead of first entering 
transactions in the journal and then posting. Using the d**** thing does 
require you to understand SOMETHING about double entry bookkeeping 
because that is what you are doing..
