I personally don't find the lack of editable columns a big problem. I don't mind what little extra mouse movement it takes to go to the properties pane. I do however see the efficiency value of edit-in- place.
My concern would be, where do we click to *select* a task when all the areas of a task's line are editable ? Sometimes I'm frustrated when a single click in the title puts me in edit mode. I would implement edit-in-place as follows: 1st click anywhere on a different line selects the task, 2nd-click on selected line enters edit-in-place mode. In other words, single-click edits only if line already selected, else it just selects the line. You could get real fancy (and help Stephen J update all his min durations faster) by having single-click edit in a new line, if and only if we were in edit mode on same column previously. IOW, to select a task, click anywhere on it, except in same column where currently in edit-mode. Clicking another tasks in same column as currently editing, puts you directly in edit mode for that other task. BTW, to update multiple tasks as once (with the same value, of course) multi-select the tasks and make the value change: it will apply it to all. Awesome!
