The main feature which I am eager to get is the online banking. Right now I have to download each bank account record separately, and even with just a couple of banks and a couple of accounts at each bank, it can get confusing keeping them up to date.

Programs like MSMoney have online banking too, but I think GnuCash is the first FL/OSS program to have this. My wife actually bought MSMoney (since she uses MS Windows), but distrusts the closed-source online banking feature, and in fact she stopped using MSMoney because she doesn't like how it keeps trying to connect to the Internet. "Who knows what information it's transmitting!" she says. So now we don't have any software at all that does online banking. Good to see GnuCash filling the gap here.

So, please put my vote in, too, for the backport. Meanwhile, I'll try the Do-It-Yourself approaches noted above.
