Double entry accounting
By fully using the double entry accounting features in GnuCash, you can know (for example) not only that you spent $25 at Hugemart but that you spent $13 on groceries, $2 on disinfecting wipes, and $5 on motor oil. Later on, you can use data from that transaction and others to find out how much you're spending each month on food, home supplies, and car maintenance, along with other expense categories.

Auto-Complete feature is full of bugs
When you start entering something into the text field, it auto-completes, and as you continue to type, it messes up what was supposed to be auto-completed. So it basically defeats the purpose of having auto-complete.
