I just thought that a lot of gnucash widgets were grid-like and gnumeric
is all about flexible grids.

Obviously there will be some instances like the phrase-wheel (like I
know what that means) that must be home-brewed, but I would have thought
(and this is a non-developer thinking) that there is an awful lot that
you could pull from elsewhere; thus alleviating many man-months in
creating them from scratch and also sharing future responsibility (and
conserving resources) rather than looking after it all under GnuCash.
