As an accountant (working on becoming a software developer), I've started to develop a reluctance to working with different tools because there are so many bad ones out there. Sometimes clients don't realize how bad they are, because they don't use it as much as accountants do, or they don't use the same parts of the software that accountants do (for example, bookkeeper uses data entry side, client uses report reading side) so they aren't bothered by the same issues that really slow you down when you're spending all day working with a tool.
I'd be open to working with an open source tool, but it sounds like some of the little issues you already noticed imply there'd be a lot more issues with smooth usability.
Odoo is also an open source accounting program, that's been around for awhile, aimed more at ERP side.
