A few comments on chapter 3 of the tutorial and guide, "organizing your accounts".

When I first read the chapter I found it to be a little confusing. It begins with a comparison of balance sheet accounting as compared to categories. Comparing the GnuCash way with the Quicken way (I guess).

I think it would be cleaner if instead we presented the GnuCash recommended way first, and then compared it to other methods later (the compoarison of accounts and categories). Heck, maybe a separate chapter. It seems a bit less convoluted that way... to me.

Basically, this would just mean inverting the order of section 3.1 and 3.2 and changing the introduction a little.

Thoughts?

Do we really want to push the idea that it is *possible* to set GnuCash up "the quicken way" with 2 main categories, income and expenses? Since the reports heavily depend on the main 5 account types being present...
