> The other thing GnuCash doesn't do is be a multiuser web app. Businesses large enough to hire one full time accountant will struggle to use GnuCash, and management (i.e., the owner) isn't going to re-organize all business systems around using an executable. They are going to migrate to Quickbooks. (Note, however, it doesn't require a "web app" as it could just be a locally hosted database, but GnuCash does not support this feature.) I have always found this frustrating because Quickbooks ~2005 has pretty much every feature a business actually uses, so it is at least theoretical that a "feature complete" open source small business accounting software could be realized. Most of the discussions I see in forums here and elsewhere seem to revolve around web-based or technology-based businesses, but the bulk of the Quickbooks small business customers aren't any of these, and I would consider them as the target customer. (GunCash is great for independent contractors and personal finance, so I'm not knocking it.)
