Both QuickBooks and Quicken are products of Intuit but they are NOT the
same.
QuickBooks is double entry bookkeeping like gnucash is. Users of
QuickBooks should have a minimal learning curve because they are not
having to learn double entry bookkeeping at the same time as differences
between how you use QuickBooks and how you use gnucash to do double
entry bookkeeping.
Quicken is not double entry bookkeeping. So making the transition to
gnucash the user has to learn the fundamentals of double entry
bookkeeping at the same time. Those fundamentals have little to do with
how to do it using gnucash (same fundamentals if the old days of pen and
ink on paper -- the shortcut of entry of simple transactions directly in
the ledger without a journal entry existed back then too, if only
applicable to a subset of the ledger)
