When I started, it was only GNUCash as a free option. Never tried anything else. It fits my needs as a family very well.

There’s no mobile or web access, and that’s fine for me. Updating it is something done once a week or less for me anyway.

I manage mortgage, virtual account for kids allowances, budget for future expenditures, and have a set of reports that I refresh to keep tabs on my money and goals.

I use GNUCash with the file on a NAS. I’ve been using GC for over 20 years, I just don’t see myself changing soon.

Snap is like Flatpak. So it will store and maintain as many versions of dependencies as your applications need. So it gives you that benefit by automating the work for you. The multiple versions still exist if your apps depend in different versions.

Yup. I’ve worked in big multinational companies where a local department would roll their own solution (a database and a web page, usually), and then the people that built it moved on or retired and now no one will maintain the thing. A small business has much less resources to deal with this kind of thing.

The closer the stuff is to off the shelf, the better. Reliability and maintainability are paramount and should trump feature set when deciding.

Infrastructure is also easier to change. A TrueNAS local server with external backup using Borg should be a no brainer for users. You could also setup Syncthing to get users something close to OneDrive.

If the business grows tenfold, it’s still only 120 people. They can’t handle that in a gaming rig?
