<p><strong>is there no graphical user interface ? is this only for text fanatics ?</strong><br />
<p><strong>is there no graphical user interface ? Must I use the command line ?</strong><br />
Not entirely! Just a bit. Decreasingly. <strong><a href="#ui-console">GUIs</a></strong> are appearing.</p>
<p><strong>who is this for ?</strong><br />
<p><strong>who is this for ?</strong><br />
Techies, power users, and do-it-yourself-ers, for now. If you need a rich GUI providing lots of structure, you may prefer to use something else.</p>
<p><strong>what are the alternatives ?</strong><br />
FOSS tools like GNUCash, Grisbi, KMyMoney, proprietary tools like Quicken/Quickbooks, You Need A Budget, online tools like Xero, FreeAgent, spreadsheets, paper accounting. (There are <strong><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_accounting_software">many</a></strong>).</p>
<p><strong>who is using it, and how ?</strong><br />
See <strong><a href="https://github.com/ledger/ledger/wiki/Who&#39;s-using-ledger%3F">Who's using Ledger?</a></strong> for some stories.</p>
<p><strong>what are the alternatives ?</strong><br />
FOSS tools like GNUCash, Grisbi, KMyMoney. Proprietary tools like Quicken/Quickbooks, You Need A Budget. Online tools like Xero, FreeAgent. (There are <strong><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_accounting_software">many</a></strong>). Spreadsheets. Paper accounting. A bookkeeper.</p>
<p><strong>why is this better than QuickBooks ?</strong><br />
Your data remains accessible. No yearly fees. Free software you can fix and port. Cross platform. Scriptable. Efficient.</p>
<p><strong>how do I communicate with my accountant ?</strong><br />
