I live in Wunderlist right now. Totally sucks they're sunsetting it. It's hard to imagine the new thing will be any better. Weird to see them building something new, instead of just adding more improvements to Wunderlist. Oh well -- I think my next move is to find something open and standardized, and something I have a control over. Personally I'd see myself living in Wunderlist-land for the next 20 years. IMO I don't think I need any new features there.

I'm getting to the point where I start planning an alternative as soon as a big company buys a tool I'm using. Wunderlist was spot on for my work patterns, oh well.

Yeah and it really lacks the soul that Wunderlist had. It was the right visual presentation of the right features. I'll miss it. :(

It's a funny thing. I rely heavily on Ecco Pro, developed some 20 years ago. Still going strong on Windows 10, using 1.5MB RAM (Wunderlist takes up about 70MB on my Nexus 5). The point, with nowadays web/mobile offerings, is that you don't really own them. They just come and go. No matter how useful or integrated into your work/life routines. I suspect a corresponding analogy can be made for could-based target environments. Something to think about.

The one awesome feature I've been enjoying so far with TODO that Wunderlist doesn't have is the tight integration with Outlook. Right now, 90% of my Wunderlist lists are work-related projects, and the fact that I can sync TODO and Outlook tasks is going to be killer. From what I hear (from people working at Microsoft on the Office team more broadly, so take it with some salt): the Wunderlist team has been taking more leadership roles within Office, and the goal was to integrate Wunderlist in about every product. However, much of the back-end needed to be moved to Microsoft's tools and services, which needed a virtual re-write & reboot of sorts. The one holdup is out IT team hasn't enabled TODO yet for our company's Office 365 account yet, so I need to use my personal Outlook account. I was pleasantly surprised at the "My Day" feature and the task suggestions so far. I have about ~150 tasks in TODO at the moment, and the suggestions for adding to my day were a good balance of newer urgent items and older backburner items that I had forgotten about.
