[GNC] Reconcile also opens Interest Payment box?

[will at theprescotts.com]

I actually use the interest payment box to add a monthly interest transaction when I reconcile my accounts. I never use the credit card payment box that comes up when you finish reconciling a credit card account..

Personally, I don't find this feature useful and indeed, it would simplify the code to just remove it...

I want to add to that opinion that so is the payment transfer that optionally pops up when one finishes reconciling a credit card account. It's a lot of program complexity that relieves the user of very little work indeed: Those interest and payment transactions can just as easily--maybe more easily--be created in the register before and after reconciling, and in the case of interest they're an obvious candidate for a scheduled transaction.

I want to get that out of the way up front: Who here objects to removing the interest and payment transfer automatic popups and the interest payment button on the reconcile info dialog, and what compelling reason do you have for objecting?
