You've been given the explanation, the "reversal" is because you and the
bank have reversed points of view.

BUT -- you say that you have been using QuickBooks (and not Quicken,
another Intuit product). Since QuickBooks is standard double entry
bookkeeping just like Gnucash, how come you never noticed this before?
Is it just that you hadn't been using formal labels (debit and credit)
before?

QuickBooks is really fond of simplifying things. Some packages I've used
show "Money in" and "Money out" instead of Debit and Credit as column
headers in many views. You can usually get to debits and credits with some
work. I suspect Rudy has been using a package like this.
