I found mention that OFX is no intended to be included in ledger 3. Any particular reason for that decision?

What are ledger3 users doing to work with OFX? Or is everyone just happy with CSV and manual import?

OFX, CSV, XLS, PDF, and whatever other file formats will be supported by LedgerHub:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/11u1sWv7H7Ykbc7ayS4M9V3yKqcuTY7LJ3n1tgnEN2Hk/

This project deals only with the importing and filing various downloads from institutions, for Ledger, Beancount and other double-entry bookkeeping languages. The import functionality is to a large extent orthogonal to the various reporting operations supported by Ledger and Ledger-like implementations. You're welcome to comment on the design doc above with new ideas and suggestions. The general idea is to largely automate the extraction of transactions to text input.

I'm making good progress on LedgerHub (I have already ported all of the Beancount importers but there are still some dependencies to be removed) and am hoping to release something a few weeks after tax season is over.

If either of my banks supported OFX I would work on it, as it stands
the credit unions I use only provide CSV...
