In the Netherlands we also have Exact Online and Twinfield accounting. The
latter is only an accounting solution and hence not feature comparable.
However, I did have a quick look.
None of these solutions (Exact, Twinfield or Quickbooks) look like they
will give me my data in any usable form or shape. Owning my own accounting
data was and still is extremely important to me.
When looking at LedgerSMB, I also looked at (a) the possibilities to extend
it (adding functionality/ modules of my own for my business) - with its
model for recording customers and vendors as an important sub-criterion,
(b) web-accessibility, (c) openness of the project to new-comers, (d)
project focus on design and (e) being light-weight in the resources
required.
Although I understand you're asking these questions, it'd be extremely
interesting to know why people choosing other solutions did *not* choose
LederSMB: after all, maybe their choices are based on missing bits in our
image / communication. The answers you're going to get from this list are
probably going to re-inforce the current communication.
