Thanks all for the interesting discussion! I do not plan to remove the functionality and introduce different types of tasks which have different properties (Folders, Projects, Notes, etc...) The general MLO idea is that all items in MLO are "tasks" and then you can add additional properties to these "tasks" to behavior different way but still inherit other behavior of the tasks.
This is why Folder is just a "task" which cannot be completed. All the rest is the same! You can set Project property to Folder and then you will add Project functionality to this "task" (see the progress, change project status, see in By Project views). You can add Date/Time to folder and subtasks will inherit it. The possibilities endless. Besides it is very easy to handle inside logical model of the application. Sorry guys, but I like flexibility much! :-) A.
