It depends on whether you trust your bank and, for example, its OCR cheque reader. I keep all my receipts then it is easy to enter the transactions. A little tedious I agree but for most using this for personal accounts I imagine it is only a handful a day. For business users I would have thought that keeping receipts and entering transactions manually is mandatory. For cash I enter significant items (that I have kept receipts for) then balance the cash in hand with GC once a week or so, assigning the missing cash to Expenses:misc.
