Hardcore free software always has a bad UI (at least from my experience). I can tell it from the name "GNU" cash.

- neilv 3y agoYou're criticizing its UI based only on its name (and where the name doesn't really mean what you think it does)? I've used it, so I can tell you that there are definitely some very powerful features hidden away in menu items you didn't know were even there. But the ledger UI, which you use all the time, probably blows away most software you've used. (On the occasions I've thought "I should write my own", one of the first objections I think of is that it would take me a lot of work to make a UI that works as well.)
- mbork_pl 3y agoAgreed, data entry in GnuCash (back when I used it, about 10 years ago probably) was a pleasure. Very streamlined experience. Nowadays I use ledger with Emacs, so it's hard to beat that, of course.
