It would help if you provided a bit more information than merely "Ludite" [Luddite]: have you used anything before to track your finances? Quicken; a spreadsheet; pen and paper; nothing? If you've never done any tracking of finances previously, there is a lot more to pick up than just GnuCash... for example, you'll have to get in the habit of keeping receipts and setting aside time to enter the data.
I used Quicken for many years, and switched to GnuCash around 2016... even though Quicken is not truly double-entry, I didn't really have much of a problem with GnuCash (except that I confess I do still get the "debit" and "credit" side confused - I use the simplified labels). I'm very happy with GnuCash (I use it for tracking personal finances; not to run a business). Having said that, the reports in Quicken are much better "out of the box"; I have some customized GnuCash reports that I use, but I had a tough time getting reports to work. I also did not bother importing my data from Quicken; I just started anew (but I did do some investment stuff) This is a very friendly and helpful group.
