...your couldn't be more right. What you just said might be the greatest epiphany in the history of software development. No, the history of modern times...No...Dare I say it? Yes! The history of the world!! Stop the hunt for this year's Noble Prize winner in the field of the obviousness.
Funny what gets through - yes, I do search/. before asking my question! Sorry in a bitchy mood today, sun is shining and I'm stuck inside.
...in case you didn't look, the date of that article is May 19th, 2002 - 3 years, 4 months ago. Yes, a lot has changed since then. In that time, the major player in the Linux financial software market - gnucash - has released 24 new versions. In addition, there are several new packages out there that did not exist in 2002.
In the world of Linux, 3.33 years is a very, very, very long time.
Sure, user-friendliness is a feature. But when all you doing is maintaining a list of financial transactions, it's not a big feature.
...let me guess what your finances consist of: A checking account to which your paycheck gets directly deposited, a savings account, and maybe a credit card. If you are an American, the tax form you file is the one page 1040EZ. Sure, a spreadsheet will work in simple situations, but if you have multiple investments, own a home, have kids, etc it gets complicated quickly. And I'll tell you one feature your spreadsheet is never going to have: a button that syncs your data with your bank, your investment firms, credit cards, etc. Nor is it ever going to import all your data into Turbo Tax which will fill out complicated tax forms with a few clicks and then electronically file them.
And the money they cost is nominal, especially if you value your time.

...since when did China have a population of 10.5 billion. 35 times our population indeed...

Sounds like twice the work for thrice the price.
