The Hit List is a really good outliner on the Mac side, over time I’ve ended up using that more to store information, and a simple list for task management (I don’t need heavy project management or Gantt charts, etc.)

Actually, you’re right. I’d forgotten how much room there is for notes in The Hit List. And I’ve just discovered (doh!) that they support rich text, too.
As well as folders, smart folders, two different types of (hierarchical) tags, ad hoc filtering etc.
The only thing it doesn’t do is sharing. But as a personal information manager, it is pretty dang powerful.

Bill—Checkvist is designed to do some / all of what I think you’re doing.

Hey Paul - you’re right, but Checkvist is exclusively online, with (as far as I can tell) no offline support at all.
That automatically excludes it, I’m afraid… ;-)

I don’t have this—but the Pro version touts that it includes “Manual all lists backup (OPML format)” and “Dropbox integration” —though there’s a big difference between backup and usefulness.
