Opinions on Gnucash (self.personalfinance)

Is anyone using Gnucash? I've been on a kick of streamlining my finances and want to simplify from my current spreadsheet for tracking expenses. I have seen Gnucash mentioned around and am considering it. Is it easy to use and import transactions from credit cards?

I hate manually entering each purchase because I invariably typo an amount somewhere and spend hours at the end of the month trying to figure out why I don't balance.

I've downloaded it and tried playing with it but it seems clunky. I'm wondering if it gets easier once you get past the learning curve. Thoughts/experiences?

Import of transations is via a CSV - I do it once a month and then shred the receipts that match. It's a bit clunky compared to quicken on windows (last I used it was 2018), but it can do the job, and of course it's double-entry and free.
