OK, I think the enhancements are (at least potentially) a nice step
forwards. But I'm puzzled by one design choice that seems ill-thought-
out to me.

If I have Project X with Subtasks Y1, Y2 and Y3 then in my Focus view
I primarily want to see the subtasks (as appropriate according to date
and importance), not the project name. That is, I do not want to be
told "you have a task (over)due in Project X" and have to tap the
screen to discover what the task is, but rather "Task Y1 is (over)due"
with the possibility to tap to see what project it relates to if
necessary. (Maybe an initial part of the project could be included as
a subscript, as used to be the case with List names.)

Note that each project has multiple tasks whereas a task belongs to
one project (by definition) so I am much more likely to have to check
up in the former case than the latter. Worse, there appears to be no
way of viewing all the currently due/overdue tasks on one screen, in
order to prioritise. Also, in order to mark a task as done and return
to Focus list now takes 3 taps rather than just one if arranged as I
suggest.

Tasks are what we do: projects are just a convenient organisational
tool.

I wonder what the rationale was for the current setup. Does anyone
think it is better than what I propose? How do you make it work
effectively for you?

Checklists are probably a different matter. In the typical example of
a shopping list, it is reasonable to see "shopping" as the task (in
focus view) and then delve into the list while actually undertaking
the task. I don't want different tasks to buy eggs, milk...
