    Does not work with simple text files in the taskpaper format! That is the main draw of taskpaper over any other task manager.

    Taskpaper first an foremost is about minimalist text-encoded tasks that are in a local text file. RTM is an online task management system with a significant UI and a database that is by no means legible.

    A full-featured GTD-style app, very well executed. The other end of the "spectrum" from TaskPaper's minimalist approach.
