You're right that the complexity can quickly grow out of hand trying to implement project management features, however you must realize that a tool meant to maintain personal lists of items may eventually grow to encompass larger projects. I think the reason this discussion took off is that if an existing project management tool worked the way we wanted it to, this would be a moot discussion. As it is, it appears that none of the traditional PM style tools integrate with Org use or provide similar functionality. I know I've been frustrated trying to export Org data to MS Project and keep them in sync.
