I would use it the same way I use the todo list now, but would be REALLY happy that it could show the tree too.
One thing I would do is to filter the outline by Flag, which is currently how I track tasks for my various businesses (I like to use the business logos as the flag icons, so I can tell at a glance which of my businesses a thing pertains to, and I don't want to use contexts for this, because they mean other things to me, and sometimes I want to show the todo grouped by business, and then context. If I could filter the outline by flag, I could keep my usual outline, but only show for one business, or filter out one, which would be very useful. In general, I just think it would great if I could keep an organized view like a tree, and be able to expand/contract items, while still having the ability to filter. One thing I don't like about the tasklist, is that other than sorting and grouping, I can only really view it as one long list, and much of the context of a task is lost sometimes. If I could at least see the folders above it (and I know I can use the path column, but it's just not the same), that would really help with keeping my head organized. I think it comes down to this - the outline is where I do my thinking, planning, and organizing, and the todo list is where I do my "action" tracking what I'm doing as I'm working, checking things off, etc. Sometimes, it would help a lot if I could do the planning and organizing part without having to see the whole outline, and while I know I can fold some areas away, sometimes that doesn't work, if I want to view some contexts, flags, etc. Or I want to plan and organize my next two weeks, and it would be really useful to only show tasks that have no due date, or are due in the next two weeks, but still have them organized. I don't know how you would handle folders / projects in filters. Perhaps only show folders that contain items after the filter, or show the others, but assign a style to them (like grey them out). I would, of course, want to be able to create folders and they may not match the filter until I add something to them. I hope this ramble helps.
