Sorry, GnuCash is a lot of things, but definitely not a QuickBooks emulator. I had a very hard time unlearning QuickBooks, but after the initial sting I got the hang of it. Using QuickBooks since 1995 I understand what you are saying :)
So what good is gnucash? I would say the best thing about gnucash is safety, it makes a ridiculous amount of backups, and it is really fast also. I think the primary aim of the developers would be people using Linux on a daily basis, that are unable to use QuickBooks. It was good to hear from you! If you are trying to use Linux, I can offer advice on running QuickBooks in a Linux environment, but if not it isn't worth the trouble of explaining the nuances of the installation.
