I'll add comments to a wishlist when it gets filed, but I do have a  
problem with separating payers and payees.  If I have a payer such as a  
credit card company (to whom I would pay fees and/or interest, what  
happens if I overpay and get a refund.  That transaction is a deposit,  
but the payee would not be listed in this case.  I suppose a  
configuration setting whether to list only payees or payers or list all  
is one way, or else a button to "list all" to override the default  
would also work.

I also see a downside to selecting the category first.  If I select a  
payee that has a default category, I then don't need to select the  
category - it is set automatically.  This way I would need to set  
both.  However, I suppose if you DO set the category first, then  
limiting the payees offered in the dropdown might make sense.  In  
either case, entering a transaction with a category other than the  
default for that payee would take more effort.  It's certainly a less  
common event, so taking more effort than the common use cases is not  
unreasonable.
