The current version of Xacc probably wouldn't be worth switching to if
you're reasonably happy with CBB, but the upcoming stable Gnucash
might. The big things that Gnucash has to offer right now is really
good split handling, much better performance on larger data sets, and
active development.

Not right now. If I can get a few spare moments one of these days,
I'm going to clean up the translator I used to convert all my CBB
data, hand it over to someone who said that they're be interested in
finishing it (assuming they still are), and then we'll be on the way
to having a CBB input method.
It's fairly tricky to get right since CBB puts splits in several files
with no unique identifier to link them all together. Pulling things
back together requires some careful matching and a little guessing.
