  1. Umm on Lisp as an Alternative to Java · · Score: 1
    GNUcash is a flaming pile of crap. Why don't you examine this list of dependencies for me:
    • gdk-imlib1 (>= 1.9.8-4)
    • libart2 (>= 1.0.56-3)
    • libaudiofile0
    • libc6 (>= 2.1.2)
    • libdb2 (>= 1:2.4.14-7)
    • libesd0 (>= 0.2.16) | libesd-alsa0 (>= 0.2.16)
    • libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0)
    • libgnome32 (>= 1.0.56-3)
    • libgnomesupport0 (>= 1.0.56-3)
    • libgnomeui32 (>= 1.0.56-3)
    • libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.7-1)
    • libgtkxmhtml1 (>= 1.0.56-3)
    • libguile6 (>= 1:1.3.4-2)
    • libjpeg62
    • libncurses5
    • libpng2
    • libreadline4 (>= 4.1)
    • libxpm4
    • libz1
    • xlib6g (>= 3.3.6)
    • libwww-perl
    • slib
    • scm
    • guile1.3
    • libguile6-slib
    • perl-5.005
    • eperl

    and give me the names of a couple of libraries that GNUcash does not require?

    The point is that the GNUcash developers see a neat feature in some esoteric library, decide to use it once or twice, rinse, and repeat. They couldn't design a decent product if their lives depended on it. It's a big bloated collection of about 3000 "cool hacks". I think I'll be sticking with Quicken, thank you.

  2. It all depends on When Do You Kiss Backwards Compatibility Goodbye? · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    I am by no means an expert at backwards compatibility - but this is definitely something to kiss goodbye.
