I'm used to proprietary packages holding my data hostage. In this case, GnuCash held my data hostage, and I ended up abandoning the data.

The data was in XML format which is quite easy to read and change and do stuff with. This is not the same as, for example, a doc file which is a closed and quite secret file format. Just because gnucash wouldn't export the data to your file format of choice, doesn't mean it held it hostage. Gnucash set your data free. You're the one who wanted to tie it up again.
