People love Org because of its "simplicity". But we should call it "efficiency" rather than "simplicity", since what we really like in it is the fact that it makes complex actions easily achievable. For example, both org-remember-templates and org-agenda-custom-commands can be very complex variables, yet Org lets you configure them the way you want so that using them becomes very "simple". I think it would be the same for the trigger stuff: finding your way through the best configuration for *you* would be a rather complex process, but using them to perform the simple actions that you need would not be that complex. BTW, I don't see the point behing the argument: "I'm using Org for simple project management and XXX for complex project management, so please keep Org as simple as it is." If both tools let you manage complex projects, there will compete in the same area and that will be a problem for *you*. But not for the software itself, and not for people that use only Org (and might be tempted to use it for more complex PM.) My 2 cents, -- Bastien
