I'm giving it a spin for my personal finances, and I'm butting heads with some of the same interface annoyances you mentioned in the review. I love the appearance and organization- it's clean and easy to use. But setting things up still has some rough edges.
I'd like to find an alternative to Moneydance.(Don't suggest gnucash- I've tried it several times. Don't like it, and I do understand double-entry.) Moneydance is proprietary, which doesn't bother me too much, and it's very powerful and flexible. But the Linux interface is just plain ugly. This goes beyond aesthetics- it affects readability and comprehension. As I understand it, its appearance is limited by its Java underpinnings, so there is small hope for improvement.
KMyMoney may never support check printing. I asked about it once on the mailing list, and got the impression that non-US devs are amused by the very notion. Apparently us US persons are the only ones who cling to such an archaic form of funds transfer.
