Shameless plug of my open source finance system. https://github.com/darcys22/godbledger

I love these command line self hosted accounting software packages. But double entry bookkeeping was invented using ledgerbooks with ruled tables. I feel the plain text dataformats are a regression compared to a sql database. A general ledger just works so well with columns that you can sum.

It also saves you from needing a custom tool like bean-query to replicate sqlite-ish queries because it could have been in a database from the start
