Perhaps this issue bothers me more than most because I am in IT and specifically data and reporting but I am really annoyed that there is no good option for GTD software. When I say 'good', I mean having two key components that every single piece of GTD software I've seen doesn't have. That is a summary dashboard when you log in and reporting and/or metrics. It's great that you can add projects and tasks but for me the real power of a dashboard when combined with GTD is the ability to quickly determine overall progress for each project. For example, If I log in and see I'm 70% done with project A, I'm far more inclined to finish it on the spot or very soon since I know I'm so close. This becomes especially useful when you have say 50 projects. All these apps are basically check lists. They have no even moderately advanced reporting or analytical capabilities. I wish there was a tool that did it all....allowed you to do a mind sweep, took you through the process, asked you questions, and then identified priority. The closest I've seen to being decent is FacileThings but I don't find it useful enough to use.
