This is very, very true in my experience. After years and years of trying out all, I keep coming back to a list of tasks in a sheet so I've combined the two. It's just so easy to reconfigure or query. And with Google Sheets on my phone, it is portable. Add an IFTTT note widget to add a row to my sheet and I've got instant capture. Finally, you can do whatever you want with it using Google apps script (e.g. send reminders). It's hard to beat. Despite all the capabilities, I still keep it simple and focus on capture and review. I could switch this to a list in a text file or on paper very easily and maintain the core of my functionality. I always think "people built cathedrals and pyramids without all this fancy software, it isn't the key to getting things done".
