i look forward to using gnucash, but frankly the major banks need to get a clue and incorporate these features into their sites as a competitive offering. i don't want to "import" all my data moving it from one app to another, i should be able to get detailed analysis from the same place the data lives, my bank, preferrably autogenerated. oddly enough my credit card (issued from the same bank) does this once a year in a printed form: they send me a detailed breakdown of my spending. why not provide this functionality in real time?

I very much agree...
I emailed my bank (or actually the company that manages that bank's, and a lot of other Danish banks' data) about OFX and HBCI for online banking, and they had NO idea what I were talking about, it went a bit like this:
"A program? This only works in your browser"
"I know, I was just wondering if you had any plans of supporting blablabla..."
"A program? This only works..."
"Ok, nevermind"
That was pretty useless, I know of no (at least danish) banks who has this implemented for customers, which is really a great shame, as it is SO useful.
