Gnucash can do this and is floss so won't really go away.
The main draw of Mint for me was how it pulled all transactions from all of my financial institutions. Can GnuCash do that too or is it just a FOSS alternative of QuickBooks?
No.
I tried cludging something together with email scraping once but it relied on too many online microservices (zapier etc) and I could never really stabilize it.
I guess it's like quickbooks. It can import financial institutions transactions downloads I believe.
Do I need to know programming or enjoy spreadsheets to use this?
It's more complicated than just a spreadsheet but not as complicated as regular programming. You will want to learn general accounting practices like double entry bookkeeping to really understand how to use it though.
Hmm, okay, then it's not what I'm looking for.
No more than you needed to use quicken back in the day.
