Hi Robert,
I asked my wife, who is a non-techie, which application she prefers and
without hesitation said Grisbi. She found it very easy to set up and
customize to fit the needs of the ngo she was assisting (deleted all the
default categories and added her own). There was a small learning curve
and once we found where to find some tools, such as splitting a
transaction, everything went very smoothly. The budget feature also is
very simple to set up. One thing that is lacking is nice graphics such
as pie charts for reporting.
I hope that this is somewhat helpful.

Interesting. I'll have a look into those three.
Let me slightly rephrase the question with some hypothetical context:
if a non-techie friend was starting a business (e.g. a lawn care
service) and asked me what kind of accounting software they should use
under Linux, what should I recommend? What factors should I consider
for the recommendation?
Regards,
- Robert

I am using gnucash and grisbi. Gnucash has been used for my personal stuff
for 5 years or so and I began using Grisbi for several ngo's two years ago
and I'm finding that I like Grisbi more and more. It seems to have more
transparent flexibility for generating reports.
Just my two cents worth,

gnucash would be my choice for small business
kmymoney would be my choice for personal.

Is anyone here using an Open Source accounting package for their
personal use or to help manage a small/medium business? Are you
running it under Linux? If so, what do you use and how do you like it?
There appear to be quite a few of them available:
