For me this is going to be a personal project, I plan to go to Vermont
for a few weeks to spent time with my inlaws. Quickbooks is being used
to manage a small org and is the only package that's requiring
VirtualBox at the moment and I want to replace it.

But I've seen QuickBooks, it looks really badly designed (from a UI
perspective) so I'm intending on making something better than
QuickBooks. Much better.

Can I put you down as an accountant to call on for advice? Maybe there
is something you already know you dislike in existing packages, missing
features or just bad positioning.
