I believe this is a function of the account type. "Bank" accounts get the
Withdrawal and Deposit labels, and others get labeled the Debit and Credit (I
think credit [card] accounts get labeled with Charge and Payment).

For some, the "user friendly" labels will be easier than the formal
accounting labels "debit" and "credit".
But if not, if these sometimes confuse you (changing as they do
depending on "type" of account, you can always ask gnucash to use the
formal labels. Then all you have to remember is the sense of the account
(assets have sense debit, liabilities and equity sense credit; temporary
accounts of type expense and income are debit and credit respectively).
If a transaction amount is the same sense as the account, it is
increasing, if opposite then decreasing.
