GnuCash is way more difficult to learn.  Once you get
there it is powerful.  Be prepared to tear some hair out.

Quicken is "single entry" and GnuCash is "double
entry" accounting.  Big, big difference.

It can be argued that double entry accounting was the
single greatest mathematical advancement in human
history as it ushered in the Renaissance and global trade.

Here is an AI (which are usually not to be trusted)
comparison:
https://search.brave.com/search?q=gnuCash+versus+quicken&summary=1&conversation=3488cd609ba27d8aaa568c

Here is users comparing the two:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GnuCash/comments/e8uldw/honest_opinion_of_gnucash_vs_quicken/

GnuCash's users mailing list is beyond helpful.
What a bunch of great guys.  They helped set me up.

The GnuCash developers fix their bugs.  I have reported
several to them.  They usually jump on them in a week.

I have seen quicken users migrate to on line banking,
so I have not seen it on customer's machines for several
years now.   (On line banking is dangerous to do from
Windows platforms.  Last lady I help with a hack got
embezzled for 40K U$D.  Bank did make her whole,
eventually.)

Quicken is easier but way less powerful.  You get
marketed out the wazoo and are required to get
yearly updates to do online banking.
