I facepalmed when I saw that Google omitted a feature that they also left out of Tasks, even though this application clearly has a lot more energy and drive behind it - labeling / tagging.
It's such a simple, unobtrusive, and elegant feature that there really isn't an excuse to exclude it, given the enormous benefits it adds to any kind of note-taking or organization application. It instantly allows the user to implement any kind of organization system, from haphazard brain-dumping all the way up to GTD.
And it doesn't take a lot. You don't even have to clutter up your pristine, trendy flat UI with labels displayed over everything - just allow the user to 1) Add any number of labels to a note (They don't even have to be displayed anywhere, except maybe an out-of-the-way Labels dialog) 2) Filter the list of notes based on one label. That's all! That's not so bad, is it?
This is also the one, single feature that could have allowed this to immediately and effectively compete with Evernote.
