I absolutely agree that hierarchical "sub"-tasks (I assume, that's what you
mean with parent-child-relationsships?) and dependencies are an important
feature for a task management system (at least for some users).
I did not put that into question.
So, yes, it is a good USP for a taks management system.
But a "USP" (from my understanding) is something that no other product
offers - and that's just not true for dependencies or hierarchical tasks or
the combination of both.
Taken from Wikipedia (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_selling_proposition)
"2. The proposition must be one the competition cannot or does not offer. It
must be unique‹either in the brand or in a claim the rest of that particular
advertising area does not make."

I absolutely agree
