Personally, I would very much prefer to keep my system as free as possible. I'd much prefer to use gnucash over some other alternative, but so far I've found it severely lacking in one area, and that's importing bank statements via QIF. I use my Discover and American Express cards quite a bit, and entering each of those transactions into gnucash by hand would get very tedious very quickly. Other than that, I love gnucash. Unfortunately, for me at least, that's reason enough to start looking elsewhere. -Alex
