Anyone using gnucash for accounting?

[SilverLeaf]

Being the FOSS advocate and linux user that I am, I was considering using gnucash for my accounting needs. Is anyone currently using (or previously used) gnucash for their business accounting? Is it working for you? Just looking for some feedback and opinions.

I used it for my business last year. Over all it is a decent product and IF properly setup and tweaked it is almost fully functional. For me, I gave up on trying to get everything set up and just used it to keep track of invoices AP and AR. Taxes and such I did by hand.

I am a HUGE FOSS supporter but I had to move to QB for this year due to the expansion of my business needs. Gnu cash is a good product not great. It has a lot to offer but I just need more hand holding when it comes to accounting I guess.

Just my .02.

i used it before but started to really dislike it, kinda difficult to use but not bad.
I am thinking of actually moving to Apache OFbiz but that a pretty big program which would require its own server and is for much larger companies.

I tried it when the project first started then again maybe 4~5 years ago.
Just didn't like it.
Or should I say I just didn't feel like doing the work that needed to customize it for my needs.
Though I loathe Intuit, quickbooks does what I need for my business. and my accountant can just take my file without me having to hope that the conversion works.

I was using MS Money for my personal accounting, got it free with an old PC many years ago. Last year I dumped it and started using Moneydance which I can use on my Linux PC and share the file with my wife on her Window's PC.

i m about to go to openerp it is great and it has CRM and ERP all in out it is open source and many companies aroud the world can implement it for you.
it runs on linux - mac - win and it is web based so u dont have to install anything at the computers you want to use it.

I've used GnuCash but am using Quasar right now. It's no longer open source but the core portion is still free. The server runs on Linux, but you can use Linux and Windows for the frontend.
