I do use it, and it's quite good.

The main problem is that I don't want to give a third party access to my bank accounts, so importing into gnucash is (1) download pdf statements from bank (2) use python scripts I wrote to convert to csv (3) use gnucash importer to import.

This is fairly painful stuff, more so because my bank statements are all generated on different days of the month. So I can't form a habit of doing this regularly enough to make the data useful.

Ouch, this is painful indeed. I thought all banks provided a way to download transactions in a machine-readable format.
Welcome to Canada. The checking/saving account statement is in csv. The credit card statements are only provided as pdf by my bank. That's where most transactions are.
