It really depends on what you want to do with it. It very easily replaces the core of Quicken, but it is not (yet?) a full small business accounting package because it is missing some features like payroll. I would suggest reading the archives of the GnuCash mailing list to see the problems some people experience and how they are being addressed.
So far, I have not run into any cons but our needs are pretty modest. I like the double entry approach because it reminds me of a previous accounting class and it makes it easier to follow where the money is going.
I like it and will stick with it. I think the manual is pretty good, so make sure you install gnucash-docs. If I can answer any specific questions, I will try my best. We plan to use it for our upcoming (restaurant) business as well. There is a good document about using GnuCash with business somewhere on their website. It is a good read if you plan on using it for your business.

I am currently building and installing GnuCash. I know this question isn't directly related to Fink, but the app itself instead. I have been using Quicken for about 3-4 years now, and every time it becomes a bigger headache. Intuit's focus on the Windows platform and negligence to the Mac platform has made me mad. I'm not necessarily referring to features, but general use in keeping a few registers. I constantly am cussing at it due to the way it operates.
Anyway, I was wanting to see some experience Pros and Cons from people who have used GnuCash. Do you like it? Why? How are the features, general usability, etc. What do you like about it, and what do you not like about it? Thanks for the advise.
