[GNC] Concern with the lengthy list of "Known Issues"

[D]

I'll chime in here to say that I've had no significant problems using 3.4 or later. I've been using Gnucash for many years, and recently moved from using a Mac to using Windows. That transition left a few preferences for me to rediscover, but otherwise was smooth.

As for the migration of settings and reports from version 2 to 3, I admit that I didn't follow the discussions that closely, but I was given to understand that the transfers of settings and reports largely were handled by the software upgrade process seamlessly and automatically, and that only a few users encountered troubles.

Finally, as a background comment, the transition from version 2 to 3 entailed a change in an underlying UI package (gtk), which caused a large number of behavioral changes that resulted in a lot a "known issues."

Personally, I only look at the known issues if I have an issue of my own come up. Why trouble trouble?

Scott,

I have been using GnuCash 3.6 on Linux Mint 19.1 since it was released (and
most of the V3 releases usually within a few days of their release) without
any significant issues at all. My usage is mainly for personal accounting
but I do use  a subset of the business features as well for a couple of
small ventures. The early V3.x versions certainly had a few more serious
issues but nearly all could be worked around fairly easily. Those have
largely been eliminated over the first 3-4 releases in the series.  The vast
majority of the list of remaining  issues largely qualify as minor
inconveniences and do not affect the core functionality of GnuCash. Others
with more demanding use of GnuCash than mine may disagree however.

The major issue with the shift from the 2.6 series to the v3 series is the
change in location of the configurations and the need to copy any stored
reports etc from the old location to the new location. These changes are
described in the wiki and there are posts in the GnuCash User archive 
around the issues with stored reports.
