Dear RTM...

Dear RTM,

I met someone new the other day.


I can explain...

I love your interface. It's so fun to use. I trust it, and I trust you so much. Wunderlist is strange. It doesn't have a sort-by-date option. I can't tell you how much I'll miss your glorious, long list of tasks, sorted by date. With Wunderlist, I don't feel like I can get a big picture overview... since it can't even sort by date. But... maybe that's not what I need. Maybe I need a segmented list. Maybe I only need to see what's just ahead. I do tend to get scared by big pictures. I do tend to lose focus.

And you're so powerful, it's really great... but I don't always use all of your features. I never use locations, or time estimates... and tags are just another way for me to procrastinate. "Put off"... "Really put off"... and I love your rainbow of priorities, too, but sometimes I worry that I spend more time managing my tasks than actually getting anything done. Wunderlist is so simple, there's no way for me to ignore whether I'm ready for tomorrow or not. She just tells me how it is... and maybe I need that.

And... I like your iPad app, but it can only sync once a day unless I pay. I have given you so much attention these last few years, and you still ask me for more, while Wunderlist just sits there and shines: "Free for Every Device." If that ever changes, I'll come a-knocking, but until then, dear, what else can I do?

The transition might not be easy, but there's no better time to do it.

RTM, you got me through college, and I'll always have a special place for you in my heart.

Good-bye... for now...
