With the reports, yeah, it would be relatively straightforward to have
gnucash generate the report for you without requiring a UI. The
problem is that the /export/ is done through GtkHTML, which requires a
GUI.
It's easy to come in after eight years of development and with the
third (or fourth!) generation of developers and point out how the
design is broken.. Unfortunately that's not helpful. :( Yeah, it
would be nice if gnucash had a better MVC design, but unfortunately it
doesn't. This could get fixed relatively simply in some places, but
harder in others.
