Totally agree. The Quicken/Intuit concept of categories and classes is what makes it so powerful. Gnucash would massively benefit from adopting a similar way of dissecting accounts. The alternative workarounds suggested by some, such as having multiple expense accounts such as Expense:Pharmacy for Family member #1, Expense:Pharmacy for Family member #2 and so on seem clumsy in comparison when it comes to producing clear reports, though multiple filterings with GC will (eventually) get you the same information.
