I have used gnucash for many years - I run two non-profits and one for profit company as well as my personal finances.
The one feature I miss is inventory, but there is a way around it using stocks. It works but takes some thinking to get it to work. I wouldn't use it for a large inventory of items, however. I looked at Postbooks and found (1) lots of features I did not need; (2) the need to create invoices for everything, so it was hard to go to staples and buy some rubber bands; (3) the UI was not very nice. Gnucash uses the checkbook metaphor, and is very quick and easy. I love the double entry accounting as it greatly reduces the number of potential errors entering transactions. There is another online service freshbooks. I looked at it, but when customer support said I could not change the chart of accounts, I stopped looking at it. Good luck!
