GnuCash is closing in on release 1.8 ...
If there is any doubt about the amount of work that goes into a package
like this, read on (from the gnucash development list):

For your entertainment: one need not count money, one can count lines
of code. How's your ROI? Mines pretty good:

http://www.gnucash.org/en/sizing.phtml

GnuCash now consists of 900 source files (not counted were: makefiles,
optional dirs, experimental dirs, lib dirs, other misc). These contain
over 300 KLOC of source code. There have been at least 130
developers/patch
submitters/translators, and the app has 21 language translations.

Lead developers contribute approx 10KLOC per person per year (with
clearly large annual and individual variations).

I strongly encourage bottles of champaigne and a victory celebration
for everyone upon completion of 1.8
