Yeah, it really has a feeling of minimalism and speed to it. That is useful to me in a task manager, because I find I end up fiddling around too much or getting distracted by the software itself if there are a lot of fields and settings to slog through. It essentially works as fast as I can type, and, as you say, hoisting + filtering by tags really keeps it from feeling messy.
