I think the biggest advantages are its just a text file, so you can use version control.
Additionally spreadsheets group logic and data - whilst this is very flexible csn get hairy if you are not disciplined.
Beancount files are just text, and the logic part comes from the beancount engine so there is a clean separation.
- account-5 5y agoI fully appreciate text. I use plain text with minimal formatting for as much as I can. I tend to save my yearly spreadsheets as CSV for storage as after the year they are not live documents. My system is obviously not fully tracking everything / double entry. It's just a log transactions on an account. I have a sheet for each account.
