Yes, they market it as a task manager and when you first install it, it probably displays all the panes and columns and numbered lists and check-boxes etc., which obscure the fact that there is a really powerful outliner underneath.

I love this software because it’s so easy and fast to do the actual outlining process, as part of the writing process. The outline then can of course be exported into Word etc.
