Diss-ing MLO?

[rlw]

Hi, I posted a question on the Priacta forums and got an answer but I
have a feeling that the poster really doesn't know MLO, but I'm too
new to try to point things out. Anyone here want to take a shot at it?

Reading the linked thread it's fairly clear the respondent doesn't understand the concept of a 2 pane outliner. Also, there is a difference between a hierarchical task list and keeping tasks in a hierarchical format. A hierarchy of tasks is required for identifying intrinsic logical groupings, sequences, dependencies, scheduling etc For personal tasks, I would agree that the To Do list is best in short non-hierarchical form but for planning and reviewing tasks then a hierarchical outline is best.
