Compiere in no way can compete...
with the likes of even Quickbooks. There are no third party vendors writing specific addons for compiere. CPA's don't support it so don't take a copy of your Compiere data files to your CPA at tax time. And uptodate payroll support for multiple states, not even your high dollar proprietary programs are better than QB. And your OSS fall on their face in this department.

Believe me, I weighed in on several OSS solutions before going to Quickbooks Enterprise. Not only am I the IT head in my company but I'm also a CPA. Don't point me to some half baked solution and tell me it will serve my needs in the accounting arena.
