I'm curious because I haven't used QB, but personally I actually quite 
like the SL interface and would rate it as one of the simplest order 
systems I have seen in a system for use by small businesses.  I wonder 
what it was that they didn't like?

Actually interface is what has put me off most alternatives, only ones 
that I felt I could live with were TinyERP and Opentaps (which I just 
found yesterday).  SL/LSMB are nice because you can just enter a few 
details and have it autocomplete and just work.  That said I would have 
thought the interface will not work well for an enterprise level 
customer with too many products/customers for a single level search 
screen? (not me though!)

P.S.  Everyone has a favourite database - I personally know Mysql (or MS 
SQL) best, but I don't think that the DB choice is going to be a 
sticking point for more than a smallish percentage of people.
