I wonder if this is just because of lack of demand for a GnuCash supported
by a (non-file) database backend, or because of lack of developer interest
in supporting/creating such an entity.
This is one of the reasons that I recommend Quasar Accounting over GNUCash
for small or medium businesses; GNUCash may be fine for personal use, but
Quasar is much, much more feature complete, is proven in high-volume
environments, uses Postgres (or Firebird or Sybase) and best of all is
GPL.

Of course, that doesn't solve the problem of negative perception created
by GNUCash abandoning PG support, but I have to ask how much of a negative
perception is created. For now I don't think it's an issue, but if, for
instance, eWeek or someone else ran the story, then we might have to do
some damage control.
