I switched to Transaction Journal view as default a decade ago and now I
only change views to follow a discussion on the topic here on the list!
I even forget to do so sometimes trying to figure out what a new user is
seeing when they can't figure out what GnuCash is up to or how to do
something with a more than simple transaction.
I don't consider the view 'messy' or cluttered in any way. I always have
all the transaction info available without extra clicks. If I have to
search for a transaction beyond a quick scroll, I use the Find function.
Scroll searching usually requires having to view the splits anyway to
verify it is indeed the one you were looking for, so I might as well
just have them always visible.
I'd say less than 5% of my transactions are simple (only 2 accounts)
perhaps even less. I'm just guessing.
And for those who really like the Basic style for some reason, but
occasionally want to see full detail, there is of course "Auto-Split".
Regards,
Adrien

Ok, I think that David T is correct, but I failed to notice because my
modus operandi is to just switch the register view whenever I need to
without even thinking about it.
