Hi guys

Yep that would be great.
But taking into the consideration that MLO team is going to develop a Mac version, I guess, the Windows development will freeze for a long time :((

Not necessary. Take a look at screenshots for new features - you will find some "example" task there: "hire Mac developper" ;-) Noticed the new website? It looks like they took the challenge to be number one. I'm crossing fingers for MLO.

Would be great to see MLO grow a bit more and become more visible and
successful. However, I hope they will never try to become a mainstream
tool like e.g. Evernote, caring only about what the masses and average
user needs, and ignoring features that are useful to advanced users.

For instance, since years I hoped Evernote would grow a feature that
allows using markdown for entering notes, and/or supporting paragraph
styles like heading1-3, code, quotation etc. with keyboard shortcuts for
structuring notes. It would be so much easier to click Ctrl-2 for a
second-level subheading than having to pick a font from a long list,
plus a font size, plus the bold option. But such useful features never
appear in mainstream tools. Sometimes such useful features are even
removed, to make the tools look simpler and more attractive to newbies
and the masses, because the masses bring the revenue. I hope MLO never
develops into that direction trying to compete with todo managers for
the masses like Any.Do or Wunderlist that lack most if the advanced and
useful features that MLO provides.

Personally although I am a strong fan of making MLO much more accessible and mainstream friendly, I see little or no need for that to involve either dumbing down or removal of features. And I worry that such arguments might be used to thwart genuine progress.

Think of it like a motor car. If well designed we can all jump into a new make/model and with only a couple of minutes induction we can pretty much drive off... AND will know the basics of how to brake, steer, corner etc
And yet a well designed sophisticated /expensive car will have a number of carefully chosen /powerful /unusual features that one only discovers over time,  but which don't really get in the way of the basics.  And even where the do,  everything is pretty obvious.
