Re: [GNC] Other software

My take on this is pretty simple. One of the many major benefits of 
Gnucash is the transparency of the code to everyone who builds and uses 
it. I could, if I were so motivated, peruse all the code and see if 
there's anything to worry about, why a calculation is not resulting in 
the numbers I expect, etc. More importantly, I know that there are a lot 
of people out there with much more skill and experience than me who are 
studying the code and protecting us from incorrect or malicious code.

With proprietary applications, there's no watchdog. I'm expected to 
trust some random person with my data? Not just financial information, 
but really once you start up a program it can access anything a clever 
programmer wishes to. I just don't see it being worth the risk.
