None of the complaints in this thread consider the utility of creating sharable checklists.

The ability to quickly slam a checklist into a gist and share it with others is very handy.

I just use a file in Dropbox. That is devastatingly effective for me - available across devices and offline.

Agreed, this works great for notes, lists, etc.

I keep notes in text files in my Dropbox -- on desktop, I use vim or SciTE, and on iOS I use the PlainText app to read/edit them.

Correction: The Best To-Do List: Org-Mode http://orgmode.org/

There was a reddit thread asking to share org-mode workflow, maybe you can give some details on your ways. http://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1u52eu/can_people_sha...

I don't have an reddit account at the moment, but http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html influenced my org-mode workflow heavily.

I like Wunderlist. Cross platform, syncs and all kinds of other goodies. Can send to-do items to other people via their email addresses also.

This was mentioned already, and probably one of the most famous and exhaustive org-mode practical tutorial.

I was an org-mode user. Then I lost emacs config file, and started using Sublime Text. I'm now a happy user of the PlainTasks plug-in.

This is a nice idea. Gists are also cloneable, giving you the the power of git and any tooling that you want to use to update your list.

Also, come on people, you all know that "Best" is subjective. This is the best tool for this guy, so there's no need to shoot it down.
