I’ve never used TaskPaper, but the capabilities of the data format look somewhat similar. I think the difference is primarily a philosophical one: [x]it! is a file format with a formal specification that’s open source.[1] There is no “canonical” tool for it, the idea is rather that tools can be created separately. That should give users the freedom to work with their data independent of specific tools.

That's fair. I could've sworn that TaskPaper was an actual spec, but when looking just now I couldn't find it.

    I saw that, and neither of those repos have been updated in the last 6 years. (Maybe they're still up to date? I have no idea.)
