Hi Bill,

Thanks for the reply. I almost went with TickTick, but their handling of subtasks was a bit of a deal breaker for me. I live in subtasks and just having a list didn’t work for me, especially since I could not tag the sub task. OTOH, RTM does not have folders and that is a bit annoying. Sometimes I want to view a group of projects (lists in RTM) and that is not really possible. It is in Todoist, but their notes are not visible and they do not employ a three-column layout. So, this is why I have stuck with MLO for the past year or so. It has almost everything that I want, but the UI needs work, and it is not cloud-based.

And yes, task management is difficult. It is one reason that in spite of all of the software that I have at my disposal, there are pads of paper around my desk that I sometimes use when I just need to concentrate.
