I've been using Gnucash since 2016. I import bank statements into it and produce financial statements. I've also tried Firefly and Hledger.

I think that Gnucash offers the right mix of UI and reporting for me. I think Hledger looks quite good, but would reuqire a bit more effort to learn on my part and, tbh, not sure I have the energy.

I want to like Firefly, but I'm an accountant, and it it not true double entry. So I find it emotionally difficult to use - it's simply not correct. I think that it has it's use-case, like if you only care about cash out of a bank account, but it doesnt work so well for loans or investments.

My day job is a finance system manager, so I end up having strong opinions on how finance software should work.

Sometimes the older tools are the better ones :))
