Apparently your experience is not different as you think, kpremote. You seem to be describing how it was back then. I never complained until recently, and realizing Andre was no longer a part of these discussions. Back then, it was just rock solid (for example the way to determine priority of tasks does not change). Now it is a question why some get hanging problems possibly because of new limits in how many tasks we can have, but others have no problem still.
I certainly did think it would still be going the same the past few years as it was back then, but without discussions with Andre, I think that made a huge difference. This is why I was shocked when I came back after a decade. Something changed after I left. I was one who told him it would be fine to not continue the Linux implementation, even though it seemed like a good start, because I wanted him to focus on the Windows version to get a lot of the standard needs taken care of. One of those is ever changing Windows APIs we need to keep up with. Another thing I assumed would be speeding up the automation of my daily task entries and how to move them from inbox to folders I commonly would need to move them to. Now instead we've got problems like not being able to see things large enough just because it is not made for current standard resolution of monitors. I just hope you are not saying that all these problems I;ve mentioned are the new MLO's vision. That would be obviously bad. Instead the vision should still be rock solid, no worry about how many tasks you can have, and avoid bloating just because someone needs another feature that almost could have been done with previous overlapping features.
