Here is my opinion, as To Do lists really are based on personal preference.

I use two sites. todoist.com and rememberthemilk.com

I use the two for different reasons. I use to use tadalists but that was too basic for my needs.

I like rememberthemilk because of the ability to a date to a task and then set a priority to it. This is where I have all of my 'scheduled events'. i like the interface because to me its simple yet comprehensive enough that it gives me some sort of customization. once i've created a task, i press a number from 1 to 3 to set a priority. I can set it up to repeat. If I set up a repeated task, and I can set up repeats by saying 'every 3 months' in the repeat field, if I set up a daily repeated task, it doesn't create multiple entries and fill up my entire list with just the same entry. it takes up one space, and when I say I've completed it, the same task shows but the new date is shown. I can postpone events as well. If I have weekly events that I repeat and are overdue, it will show me multiple entries. It tells me how many times I've postponed the item as well.

You can have a main title for the task you need to do, and then it gives you this neat little section to add notes. I like the notes part because I can add multiple notes to a task and it doesn't clutter my view in any way except when I view the notes, it doesn't interfere with my view of the actual task.

Rememberthemilk is not good for lists, if that is what you like to keep.

Rememberthemilk is also good because you can 'email to it', as there is an email address associated to your account. so if you are on the road, and don't own an iphone (because there is an iPhone app for RTM) then you can email yourself stuff you need to do.

You have the ability to share tasks, but I've never done that so I can't comment.

RTM allows you to group your to do stuff into different tabs.

Moving tasks between different tabs is easy.

I strongly recommend you try it out to see if it suits your needs.

Regarding todoist.com, its good for lists. I like it because it allows me to group things into sub-categories. Its sort of like a directory tree. adding an item is easy, you just add an item and set a priority to it. priority is based on colours.

You can assign different colours to different projects. Again, I suggest you try this out.

If you have any more specific questions, let me know.

I use todoist for lists of stuff, but I'm considering migrating that to a personal wiki that is not accessible by the internet.

i don't like MS Outlooks To Do List either.
