Trello??? It is so under powered. They been at it for years and still no decent SEARCH, no proper sub-tasks or dependencies, etc. To me, it feels like there is no real active development on this.

Maybe not having all these features is part of the concept?

My biggest beef with Trello is lack of multiple account support. For example if you use it in your home life (as their blog greatly encourages), and also want it for work (as their business model greatly encourages) then you'll want distinct accounts. Without distinct accounts, you get a mixing of the data, permissions, where it is accessed from, notifications, email sent by them, makes board admin harder etc. While…

I find the Google account switcher - whilst not perfect (not being able to change the "Default" account is annoying), better than many other web services.

However, one thing I've found helpful - Chrome's inbuilt account switcher.

You can access this by clicking on the button in the top-right - basically, you can be signed into multiple Google accounts, one per Chrome window - and they will each have their own cookies, tabs etc.

So it's a good way of keeping things segregated.

What? That is so backwards from my experience that I'm tempted to think it's a troll, or I'm completely missing what you're trying to say. I have two Trello accounts and have never had a problem switching between them. I have one for work and another for personal stuff, just like you suggest, and it works fantastic. If I'm logged in to one and want to check the other I just log out, enter the credentials for the othe…

You mentioned that your work Gmail account and your personal Gmail account as "inextricably linked together".

Are you able to provide any more details around this?

I wasn't even aware that was possible.

Can't you easily accomplish this using their teams feature? I just set up a team and add the appropriate users with the right permissions for the team's boards.

While people chastise Google's multiple account issues, I would say at least Google has such a thing up to some minimally viable level of quality.

I'd also add to the list of grievances that Trello has yet to have a multi-select / multi-edit feature, something I see has been asked for over 3 years ago.

Such an edge case. Typical example of user feedback that leads to software bloat.

There are a great number of workarounds for your 'problem'.

It took Google years to get multiple accounts sorted out. For a long time I had to sign out of my personal Google account before I could sign in to my company Google account.

Business Class-only is a bit frustrating (if it needs to be paid, can it be on Trello Gold too?), but this is really exciting. Would love to see if people start to develop tools for productivity (like Pomodoro and that sort of thing) with it.

Yup, lots of cross Gold users on the blog.
