Tell me about your experience with productivity apps

Question

There are tons of those apps: Any.do, Todoist, Microsoft todo (Wunderlist), Things, Omnifocus, etc. I want to do a small research on the use of those apps. I am thinking about three types of readers 1. The user: A person who actually use a productivity app* What app do you use?* What are the features you use a lot?* What are the most cumbersome features you wish they didn't exist?* Have you ever been in a situation when you are using an app and you say "I wish I could do that"?* Have you tried other apps before using the actual app? Why did you quit?* Are you using different apps to organize a workflow? Tell me about it.2. The traumatized user: A person who once used an app (or several apps) and then decided to never use an app anymore.* What drove you to quit the app?* How do you manage your time without the app?3. The person who never used an app:* Why you didn't consider the option?* Do you have some particular fear/need (privacy, accessibility)?Feel free to talk about anything that I didn't ask above. I want to listen to you.

I've been looking for task tracking / planning software with some project management features, like the ability to decompose tasks into subtasks, estimate duration and priority and specify dependencies among tasks. However, the software I tested only allow duration to be recorded if the task is scheduled on a specific date, and they're usually complicated with a lot of features I don't need (yet). So I'm still using a bunch of spreadsheets for now...
