Hacker worthy accounting software?

Every time I do bookkeeping for our family business, I wish the bookkeeping software was more like VSCode, so I started building that. A bookkeeping app for small businesses that looks and feels like a code editor. And then I kept building... Is this a terrible idea?

I am taking a stab on bookkeeping software for devs running a business. But I am thinking "Hacker Worthy" could be it's own category of software. What other types of products needs to be redone hacker worthy?
