For my personal finances I use the tool I wrote
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pim-tb to display and enter data
according to some schema, and then use xsltproc and perl to do
interesting things with the resulting XML.
I didn't like how the U/Is of in particular GNUCash felt; and I felt
stifled by their schemas: my tool works with any relational schema and
lets me bop around and look at and manipulate small sets of data.
It starts very fast, so I can whap it open and slap in some stuff, and
get out.
For instance I can download statements from the bank and use perl and
xsltproc to massage them into a schema the tool can display.
