This is good for GnuCash. It could bring enough visibility and interest to bring in more skilled developers to contribute a little work into adding or polishing some of the features the article mentions are lacking.
The problem to use it in France is that there is regulatory barriers preventing to use it officially. In theory accounting solutions have to comply with rules that are complicated to follow with your own opensource solution!

The thing that pisses off the accounting people where I work is how often everything changes. They’re one step from just using excel because it won’t change on them.
> just using excel because it won’t change on them. Are your accounting people quite young? Excel moves and changes stuff, though not on quite such an aggressive timeline. Modern Office is not like 1990s Office where you buy it and then it doesn't change unless you decide to change it. This is fine, the universe's one constant is change, if we fight it we'll lose, but it's worth calling out that there will be change,…
The Excel data format has changed once, significantly, in the past 2 decades (which was forced on MS and even though MS has tried to sabotage the openness of the new formats they were required to create, its still much better than the predecessors).
It’s hard to think of any other change that wasn’t just an addition (new formulas, higher column/row limits).
Gnucash is awesome even if not perfect. The problem to use it in France is that there is regulatory barriers preventing to use it officially. In theory accounting solutions have to comply with rules that are complicated to follow with your own opensource solution!

Many companies have tons of desginers who need to prove they are needed, so they force change for the sake of change - at the cost of users.
So I don't know where this conspiracy theory comes from, but it's entirely unfounded unless you're talking about a designer like Jony Ive with the power to go through multiple obstacles with ease, in which case the change isn't happening to prove he's needed but because he has a different vision.

Because someone is going to pay them?

Designers alone can't push through a change for the sake of change as their work relies entirely on user research. Even if they do have the research needed to prove a change is required, they also have to get developers on board.

Definitely not the case everywhere.

Any tips for getting ERPNext up and running? I just spent a weekend of yak-shaving, and I get to the point where nginx is routing my requests to the “bench start” process, but refuses to serve a page.
I currently just use a Cloud offering, but I also have setting it up on my own server on my ToDo list
