Hi,

we love the extensibility of the web client and develop on it for a 
rather large part of our projects. For that reason, we do not actively 
encourage use of the GTK client to our customers. Web operations is a 
requirement for most of our projects anyway. But yes, accountants prefer 
the GTK client.

Instead of trying to keep the GTK client on life support, I would rather 
focus on making the Web client more data entry friendly (main issue is 
lack of keyboard shortcuts for most operations)

Cheers,
Stefan.
