Based on the outrage and level of activity on this and other threads, this is clearly not a priority for Intuit, nor is honest and transparent communication.
After more than 20 years of working with Quickbooks I finally took the step to migrate to another solution, in my case I'm looking at Sage. I was referred to Movemybooks.co.uk which offers a free data conversion service that may be of interest to some frustrated QBO users here (2 yrs of data free, previous years charged at £75/yr + VAT).
