Agree -- my husband suggested it as a possible way to share data, as his laptop is Linux and and mine is Windows 7 and I am the one keeping our books Quicken. I didn't spend a lot of time, just about an hour, and with downloading the latest stable version of GnuCash and exporting our Quicken data into a QFX file, got nada from GnuCash. Also one of the 'tips' from GnuCash notes that there are no Categories, so what does it do make an 'account' for say auto:fuel or Auto:maintenance so we can keep track of what we are spending in each category? and then what about tags? I have found tags to be very useful in certain circumstances - say keeping track of which expeditures under the umbrella category of medical can be reimbursed by our HSA
