"Missing a critical feature for Project Management"
Pros
This is a decent solution for organizing simple projects where tasks can be handle as discrete things.
Cons
The missing critical feature is the ability to make one task dependent on the finish of another.
Summary
Why is this feature important? It's not important for simple projects like moving from Cleveland to Chicago. But if you're remodeling your Kitchen, for example, the tasks are predominantly serial in nature. The Framer can't start until the lumber arrives. If the lubmer delivery is late and the framer goes fishing for a few extra days, the the stat date for the electrician has to move out as well as the plumber, insulation contractor, sheetrock guy and painter. With Task Merlin, you have to manually adjust the start dates for each task when Frank the framer finishes late. A disaster for any complicated project.
