hello,
thank you very much for the report, really sorry about the delay in the reply.

The idea behind the previous description was about the choice between one package or the other one. GnuCash is, maybe, the most known Open Source software related to personal finance, so the idea was somehow related to help the users in the choice.

And, yes, homebank is an alternative to gnucash for someone that's looking for something simple and for someone that doesn't care about double accounting or
for some doesn't care about "small companies features".

Ciao,
Francesco

Long package description contains the following sentence:

    It differs from gnucash for the better look and feel, and for the
    greatest start-up speed.

which creates incorrect impression that Homebank is some sort of alternative to GnuCash however Homebank is no match to GnuCash due to lack of support for double entry accounting and small business features. Besides "gnucash" should be written as "GnuCash". Also I reckon startup speed comparison if off-topic
in package description.

I recommend to remove problematic sentence entirely -- it is better not to
mention GnuCash at all.
