I definitely am not complaining about Gnucash, I am grateful for it and the wonderful developers. I am also aware of the debit/credit convention. I just looked in detail about the nice changes in the version 4 series and wondered if that choice might be available now. The reason I still use the paper register is multifold: 1. My wife does not use a computer on a routine basis and we share the checking account, 2. I keep my Gnucash on Windows but do most of my computing on Linux, and 3. Much of our activity is auto-debit and auto-deposit and not always on a known date. So, my daily routine is to log in to our checking every morning on my Linux box and update the paper register from there. When I get around to it I update the Gnucash data (which is under git version control) on the Windows box. And, when I get my monthly bank statement, I reconcile both the register and Gnucash. All this stems from my experience with my first checking account at 17 when I found the bank actually made an error (in 1961, way before PCs)—the man at the bank was quite surprised! No more rambling, I am happy with Gnucash, and I may try scripting some of my work flow now that it seems user friendly.
