alt Hacker NewsHow did "taskwarrior" become so influential? It doesn't seem to provide anything other GTD code doesn't provide, but it only offers an inaccessible interface. What's the draw here?

i do not find the interface of taskwarrior inaccessible at all, i actually really love using it and find it largely intuitive. Not necessarily for doing super complex stuff, but that is not something I ever wanted anyways

I think taskwarrior vs OmniFocus/Todoist/Things 3 is a similar vibe to vim vs IDE.
Some people want a minimalist tool that they can read a manual for and then configure / install extensions for to their liking, and some people want a discoverable batteries-included GUI.
taskwarrior is simply the program and format that has the most support and biggest extension ecosystem for that first group of people.
Both are fine.
