The extensibility is fantastic. I have little cron scripts to pull my work tasks from Asana, requests for code review from Github, and enter a task automatically when someone on my team requests leave for me to review.
Love taskwarrior. As someone with ADHD/executive function issues, who struggles to prioritise, I find the "urgency" calculation invaluable. Even when it doesn't quite match reality, it's handy to have a starting point I can disagree with. The extensibility is fantastic.

I started using both some weeks ago and I'm delighted. I even have a script that changes the color of tmux status bar as a notification system when new tasks are added or updated... And I could not be happier
That may be the most impressive text interface I've seen. What special sauce is involved? (The screenshots on the submitted page are low res. There are some slightly better ones here: http://freshmeat.sourceforge.net/projects/taskwarrior/screen... )
And because it is in the command line aliases and other customisation is possible.
Some command examples on why I like this:
task add Do the regular thing due:tomorrow recur:weekly # add a weekly task, other options are daily, monthly, yearly or 5days, 3months etc.
task due:today # all tasks that are due today
task due.before:now+7days # all tasks that are due in the next week
task 115 modify due:saturday # change due date of task 115 to coming Saturday
task /something/ # list all tasks with in their descriptionhttps://taskwarrior.org/docs/design/recurrence.html
Basic things like "do a thing on the first Monday of every month" just aren't possible, and other kinds of recurring tasks (e.g. do something weekly) work strangely.
These limitations rule it out for a lot of my day to day use cases, which is a shame because otherwise there's a lot to like.
I really wish TW finally got around to implementing the ideas to improve recurrences here: https://taskwarrior.org/docs/design/recurrence.html Basic things like "do a thing on the first Monday of every month" just aren't possible, and other kinds of recurring tasks (e.g. do something weekly) work strangely.

I use `taskwarrior` every day and greatly enjoy it. There's a number of other terminal TODO management solutions that I've dabbled with but `taskwarrior` is just so feature rich and can be adapted to suit your workflow quite easily. There's also `timewarrior`, which complements `taskwarrior` pretty well. I'm not affiliated with the `taskwarrior` project, but I wanted to say that if you like the project and are intere…
It just works, and it works so well.
[1]: For TODOs when I'm on my computer, mainly work stuff that can't be tracked in a Jira ticket or GitHub issue.
I have been using taskwarrior for more than five years daily. There is something really satisfying about managing things in the command line. Especially because most time references work with plain English descriptions. The phone integration isn't great but it is sufficient. I really just use it for my TODO list with one-off and recurring tasks and it works well for that. I have the server self-hosted on a VPN. And b…
