You could duplicate the Overview layout using smart lists. That way you can abandon the Overview altogether and use the Tasks view instead, much more configurable.

I second it. Why not have the "Overview"-lists being formatted like every other list? Why should the user learn about the differences of a overview list compared to the rest of the lists?

Don´t make me think ;-)

I agree with all above.

I have manually re-created the overview content using smart lists.

To think of the coding effort that must have gone into "removing" the functionality !

+1 you should be able to take actions in the overview. You should also be able to see time estimates.

I actually just posted a similar idea today. So it is +1 for me. I would love to be able to manage my tasks from overview.

You can do this with one of the Greasemonkey/User scripts "Improved Remember the Milk Overview" which you can download and use at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/38591

One more thing.
For me, the overview is good for acting.
The tasks view is good for planning.
When I act I don't want to switch to planning. And vice-versa.
Basic task actions in overview would be great.
..and would it be closer to GTD?

and +1 once again. :)

More overview feature Please
Such as:
Selecting Task, Completing, Postpone, Custom List on Overview

Another vote for editing tasks from overview, especially since i like the way the "weekly planner' prints out much better than the way the task lists do.
