And they aren’t really “missing” much.

There are a few others, but some are buggy or just don’t do what I need: Namely, clear and easy to use. No non-sense.

Makes me think. My view: There are many apps we use that are “good enough” with work-arounds as you suggest. But there are often better apps that are closer to what we really want for our own workflow. A lawn tractor will get me to town, but my car does a better job of it. That is, I’m more productive with the extra features. Example: Ta-da List is the lawn tractor, and for me, Checkvist.com is the car. It has the extra features (like due dates) missing in Ta-da. So it boils down to what you need, and what you’re willing to settle for, in the way of productivity.
