Michael, Very. Highly. No comparison. In 2003 I stopped using GnuCash when I switched to Slackware because trying to get functioning Gnome support was frustrating and time consuming. I used a few different applications for personal finance (jgnash the past 6-7 or so years), and SQL-Ledger for my business bookkeeping. As of the first of this year both are using GnuCash and I'm glad to be back with it. > Does GnuCash allow importing from Excel or LibreOffice Calc? I'm not sure, but the gnucash help and guide manuals almost certainly have the answer. > My fiance is trying the Windows version, but there is a Linux and a Mac > version too.

Quicken is ridiculously expensive at > upwards of $140 US. Well, GnuCash costs $0.00. The difference is a few dinners for two at Sayler's Old Country Kitchen. :-) Go for it! If you want copies of the manuals write to me off the mail list and I'll send them to you since attachments are scraped off mail list messages.
