Too much accounting, too little budgetting

Too much accounting, too little budgetting

I tried GNUcash recently and I don't like how everything is pushed into accounts. I want to track my existing bank accounts and loans, not manage a ledger for a small business. I want to look into the future to see what my cash flow will look like when I have to take unpaid time off. I haven't been able to find an application like this on Linux yet.

I'll make one recommendation. Make it easier to import data! It's a real pain to categorize a year's worth of transactions. If I could look at the list of transactions in detail and "paint" the transactions from a palette of categories it would make it much easier to get started.
