cicko, I also like what you’ve done. I will add some edits there.
Personally, I think the “Benefits” section is pointless; this page is about the migration from Quicken—not why someone should use GnuCash. I would recommend deleting it altogether, but I defer to you, since you created it. You mention multi-currency problems with QIF, saying that GnuCash only handles one currency per file. However, I am under the impression that the problem of multiple currencies had to do with the *QIF* specification, and not GnuCash. In other words, the problem isn't that GnuCash doesn’t handle multiple currencies, it’s that QIF doesn’t. Can anyone confirm that for me?
