Ha! Nice distinction there, @nathanb! I love the idea of soft and hard listers. I also love Paul’s idea of “future as gestalt”...

I’ve used most of the popular apps in the last 10+ years and before that various paper planners.
I realised some time into using apps that my approach was flawed. I started using apps and in great CRIMPing joy threw my tasks in only to find it would all become overwhelming at some point and move onto something else. My conclusion was that I needed to work out how I wanted to manage my tasks. David Allen’s GTD never worked for me. I came across Michael Lindberger’s One Minute ToDo (1MTD) and his Manage Your Now (MYN). This works for me and I’m finding myself keeping on top of things. I’m also finding that I’m no longer looking for that perfect app, but one that will allow me to work the way I want to. Todoist is very powerful with it’s filters and I leverage those so all my tasks fit into three easy lists I can work from daily.
My problem with CRIMPing is that the more features an app has the more tinkering I do; ever tweaking it to perfection; and not actually completing tasks. In my case I steer away from complex apps such an Omnifocus.
I actually miss writing my tasks on paper. It just became to difficult to manage on paper. However, I’ve started experimenting with GoodNotes as I can use PDF templates to write my tasks with the Apple Pencil. The difference here is that handwritten tasks can be moved and rearranged with the selection tool. Further, if I have reminders open in the split screen I can actually drag handwritten text into reminders and it is instantly converted into text, this gives me an easy way to add reminders, but use handwritten lists for my tasks. I just think a whole lot better with a pen in my hand rather than a keyboard under my fingers.

Alright.
My favorite todo/task/gtd app is Things 3.
I don’t even use it. I just love the way it looks and was designed.
Somedays when I’m frustrated with the primordial gonk/clutter that is evernote, I pause, open Things 3 and… cry.
Expand. Collapse. Expand. Collapse. Whoosh. Thumb-thingy-make-a-new-todoey. ZIp-tang.
Somedays, I even trick myself into using Things 3 as an outliner. Sooner or later though, reality catches up.
Imagine how wonderful it would be to have those guys make an outliner/writing app with folding a la things 3.
Crimping would be over.
I emailed the developers and told them about my thoughts.
They weren’t receptive.
So I shall stay a dreamer.

The UI and features of Things 3 to which you add the features of WorkFlowy.
Oh, yes!
Sweet dreams,
