You made a good point:
* integration of tasks with calendar and "content" (notes, text,
attachments, etc.) is also a strong point of org-mode
* Using hyperlinks is another important feature (but certainly not unique)
What about trying to collect and comment the good features in WORG?
I think the best thing to compare different tools is making a list with
features and mark which tools support which ones.
I assume there is already such a list
for dependencies:
I think TaskCoach can handle them as well and it's also free and platform
independent:
