I haven't used it myself but the very name would make "Doris on the Front 
Desk" run for the hills.

I can see the technical merit of a web-accessed database-driven accounting 
system but I'm not convinced it's a good general purpose solution.

People are used to working in their own, friendly, desktop environment and 
something more integrated with Gnome and KDE would be more acceptable to
the average desktop PC user.

For the accountancy professional sophisticated graphing and reporting are
also required. While this could be achieved in a browser-based environment,
I doubt the wisdom of doing so.
