<h3 class="section">3.12 Using GnuCash to Keep Your Ledger</h3>

<p>The Ledger tool is fast and simple, but it offers no custom method for
actually editing the ledger.  It assumes you know how to use a text
editor, and like doing so.  There is, at least, an Emacs mode that
makes editing Ledger's data files much easier.

   <p>You are also free to use GnuCash to maintain your ledger, and the
Ledger program for querying and reporting on the contents of that
ledger.  It takes a little longer to parse the XML data format that
GnuCash uses, but the end result is identical.

   <p>Then again, why would anyone use a Gnome-centric, multi-megabyte
behemoth to edit their data, and only a one megabyte binary to query
it?
