Command Line, Console and UI Based Open Source Plain Text Accounting

I use GnuCash [1] with non-compressed save files enabled so that I can store changes on Git. It works flawlessly for me: I can edit accounts across different computers, get the full force of a mature accounting package to do my finances, and can use/write scripts that plot some statistics using various bindings (e.g. Python) [2].

Have you found a sane way to handle massive initial imports? As far as I can tell, there's no way to bulk-categorize transactions. That means I'd have to go through each of my 6k+ transactions one-by-one for categorization.

Not sure - I moved to GnuCash with only a few hundred transactions to import, so I did it manually. It may be possible to use the search tool to find the transactions you want to give a particular category to, and then categorise all of those (I'd be surprised if there wasn't a way to bulk categorise a list of transactions).
