If you are now using QuickBooks Pro you already know the basics of 
double entry bookkeeping (unlike somebody coming from Quicken). How much 
trouble would you have switching to gnucash? I can't tell. I do know 
that back at the start of 2007 (after the late Fall 2006 house fire) 
instead of replacing QuickBooks Pro for Non-profits I moved all of the 
orgs for which I was keeping the books to gnucash. I had absolutely no 
trouble doing that, but do keep in  mind that I learned bookkeeping in 
the old days of pen and ink on paper << had total freedom how to use the 
replacement amount for "computers and software so why replace QuickBooks 
for non-profits since it had NONE of the special features a non-profit 
would want -- and if needing to do those things "manually" why not use 
free software and use the money for other computer stuff >>
