Fair points:
* Uploading bank data could be automated more, even if it involves a
manual login
* Splitting tax manually must be fairly unique to GnuCash

It doesn't matter what you want, development is community-driven. If the
developers use OFX and automated tax through accrual business accounting
then they're unlikely to be interested in developing support for other bank
data formats or tax in cash-based accounting. Cash-based business
accounting and tax aren't even covered in the documentation.

These are the things you need to weigh up when evaluating software and
choosing what to use. GnuCash has strengths, there is probably no other
accounting software with such extensive share portfolio support.
