Syncing is Easy? Really!?
Cultured Code ALREADY has app to app syncing via WiFi. This works pretty well to sync your tasks between Mac, iPhone and/or iPad. They have had this feature for YEARS.
They don't have Cloud Syncing yet, and that would be very cool and useful. If all they wanted to do was replace WiFi syncing with the Cloud, they could probably have used WebDAV, iDisk, Dropbox, etc. They have stated that they considered these options.
Based on what I have read over the years on CC's website, they are looking to Cloud Syncing for a far larger solution than syncing your personal tasks between your devices. I believe they are planning to add Groups and Workflows. Presumably, you will be able to delegate tasks to other users and monitor progress. This adds much more complexity to the server infrastructure and the software design.
CC has also said they looked very closely at how GIT works. Clearly, CC does not think a simple solution will fit their use case.
Yes, they have been slow to deliver both Cloud Syncing and work groups. Maybe they are clueless or taken on too much at the expense of a steady stream of smaller improvements. But I do believe CC is trying to solve a much bigger problem than simply syncing devices belonging to one person.
