Things work like my brain. I keep using it.

I used Things, left because of sync in favor of OmniFocus. When sync came to Things I went back. Why? It works for me. I organize my lists by area of responsibility and persons assigned. I've looked, but haven't found anything that will do that for me. I really like being able to click on area of responsibility x and then see all the tasks, projects, and the people. Doing a 1:1?, then I just click on the person and can see all assigned and the context. I use very few tags.

The combination of Area of Responsibility and Person Responsible required multiple (usually forgotten) tags in OmniFocus.
I've tried many other alternatives.

FWIW I would use WordPerfect any day over Pages or Word. Alas I live in a Word world.
