At the least, the informal labels change. (thus, when *not* using 
Debit/Credit)

There used to be a feature that allowed for adding an interest 
transaction for checking accounts when using the reconciliation feature. 
I seem to recall it being problematic, and so I think it was disabled, 
but I can't be certain. That would only have triggered for accounts of 
type 'bank'. (there is a comparable feature for 'credit card' type 
accounts) But if you aren't reconciling, I wouldn't think that matters 
anyway.

I don't know of any other particular reason you would want to use the 
special cash and bank types.

Regards,
Adrien
