Those are good thoughts Irando. I think a lot of people find that their case is like yours - they later discover just how feature rich MLO is and realize that they've undervalued its potential. Like you said though, this is because it is so feature rich. Because it is, I suspect many people give up on it before they find out how to use those features. That's why I don't complain as much when the development team is behind on projects like the update to Android. I'm just thankful that there's a program like this that works as it does. When I started using MLO, it was a slow process to discover features. The more I used it, the more I learned about those features. In fact, I'm still learning and discovering more efficient ways to use it. For me, filtering, active actions and the work spaces make doing that much, much easier. Sticking with it, learning how to use it is key to understanding just how useful it could be.
I also like your idea of it working online like Workflowy. I wouldn't be against using it online, like something through the Chrome app store or something like that.
