I'm also super annoyed by this.  And was hoping there was a way to update the view.  Reading the comments it appears that this issue is not getting any traction.  If you are trying to make it easier for people who don't know the difference between debits and credits, then WHY would you have the words debits and credits on the journal entry?  Oh yeah because that's how you adjust the accounts by debits and credits.  ALSO anyone without accounting background is NOT going to know how to enter a basic journal entry to impact the accounts in the way they desire since the journal is laid out as debits and credits and the GL is listed as Increase and Decrease or Payment and Deposit.  This is silly and at the very least if you want to dumb it down, then put both words in the header. 

Example on a cash account:    Payment/Debit       Deposit/Credit

Example on an asset account: Decrease/Debit      Increate/Credit
