- DenisM 15y agoHey, let's not downvote tejaswiy, it's a fair question. I can expertly tell you that people use Google Tasks because of very low friction to entry. If you are using Gmail, starting to use Google Tasks is a one-click process. Friction is paramount to adoption of, well, pretty much anything!
- jfoucher 15y agoGoogle tasks is integrated into Google apps gmail. That's why I use it. Marking an email as "todo" is great, and sufficient for my needs
- est 15y ago> Evernote works much better than GTasks even if it's not designed for it. What? Can you indent a task to anther in Evernote and when checking the parent task, check all of child tasks?
- abraham 15y agoIt is simple and minimalist. Keyboard shortcut in Gmail to create a task out of an email. Tasks with dates show up on Google Calendar.
