Toodledo (and probably Remember the Milk) have some basic issues that need to be addressed. Toodledo needs to be able to handle task relationships so that you could easily say “I will work on this task *after* that task is completed” (by implication, this means task dependencies) or “this task can be set to complete when all those tasks are done” (by implication, this means parent/child relationships). Note: task relationships need to be multi-level. Toodledo also fails in fully recognizing the difference between an event and a task which causes the integration with Google Calendars to fail (you don’t want to clutter up your calendar with tasks that will be done a little at a time over the next few weeks). Toodledo also fails in that it doesn’t have a useable printout capability (my wife doesn’t do computers). Basically, these tools have only implemented the basics of task management without really describing the use-cases they are addressing. When you begin looking at useful use-cases, you quickly see that Toodledo has some work ahead of it.

Why don’t these reviews ever think of this?
