TickTick beat you to the punch

I've vacillated on my commitment to RTM over the last few years. The lack of innovation with the Android app and widgets (mainly that last one) was the real driver. But I also need a good web app when I'm at my desk.
Tried Todoist Premium for a while: it's over-hyped.
Tried to go back to Toodledo: it's just too rough around the edges.
Then I remembered TickTick.
Today, they launched their new web interface. It is surprisingly similar to the beta RTM. So similar, it makes me wonder if one team was watching the other (not sure who had the better spy). It has *almost* everything I loved in the new RTM, plus a better Android widget.
Sorry, Bob, I'll be taking a break again for a while. I hope you manage to gain some momentum while I'm away.

I agree on the lack of response, lack of features found on other apps (like adding attachments, retaining text properties from emails and other import sources).
However, I can't find a replacement for custom SmartLists. RTM is the only app that gives us a list of search operators to slice and dice our data as we wish. So far, this has been a deal breaker for me.

Key sequences and smart search are mostly absent in every other option out there. Quick entry is a differentiator too. At least TickTick has that mostly covered.
RTM owns smart search and saved searches, and that's what kept me around. TickTick definitely falls short there, but with the recent addition of tags, I think they'll catch up.
When a developer friend of mine looked at my RTM environment one day and said, "You need to simplify" I realized I was going way overboard. I've since streamlined how I manage task lists. That freed me up to consider options again.
The Android feature set is what drove me away. I do a lot of entry on desktop, but most of my actual task activity happens on mobile. TickTick has done a great job of raising the bar that RTM set.
One feature of TickTick that's won my heart is nested lists (or list folders) with an "all" view for that set. You can set a general context for a sub-set of projects. Great for segmenting consulting projects.
I've returned before and I may again. But export/import sure makes you think twice! The iCal file RTM spits out is junk. Thank goodness for regex.
