If you think Intuit is accounting than you don't really know what accounting is.
Off the top of my head... every major ERP has better functionality, customizability, and usability than this relatively simple take on a financial system. Even Workday... and that's an accounting system grafted on top of a HR platform.
This is basically yet another product created by a programmer that doesn't actually know enough about the field they're disrupting that they don't even realize that their disruption was obsolete a decade ago.
And no, as is this program couldn't be used to run a bodega, let alone an aircraft carrier.
Please elaborate more, my friend! Let's say that I was^W am a programmer who is seduced by the plain-text accounting / one-database-is-all-you-need notion and I think my needs will be simple, as I can keep the business of my bodega all in the RAM of my brain... Or at least I think I can.
How can this go wrong? What are some of the needs that compel the bodega owner to move on to more sophisticated tools? Is it because of calculating things like taxes and hourly rates and the like?
