Paul Graham may be a bit out of touch. I've asked around and confirmed that the people in my life, at least, are confused at the idea of using email as a to do list. But he certainly knows how to get the tools that he wants made for him.

Are they all getting 500 emails/day?

I've never used email any other way.

Really, you only use email as a TODO? You've never used email to discuss ideas? Catch up with an old friend? Have an argument? Flirt with someone you are attracted to? Anything that qualifies as a conversation?

I guess I think of conversations as things that are to be done.

No they are not. And not very many people are.
