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: http://taskcoach.org/ Kind regards Martin
