Well, to be blunt, Gnucash isn't an accounting system, will never be an 
accounting system, and I have no intention of personally targeting it.

Some of the orgs here need to have a tight coupling of accounting and 
fundraising.  Particularly the umbrella organizations: every week we need 
to tell each hosted project how much money they have, which means 
computing fundraising *and* expenses, often including information on money 
raised for specific events.
