it does not force me to stick to bloated and inconsistent gtd system. it supports me in using tro (total relaxed organization).
there is only one missing thing. syncing over the air or at least an api extension for the paid sync service.
oh and the price is ok but syncing costs extra per year but thats okay actually i do not use sync because of lacking possibilities on syncing. ical is no good interface for syncing with other apps and services.
the last sentence. the hit list fits bests to my requirements :-)

There are a lot of things I love about The Hit List such as:
* keyboard shortcuts (very intuitive…awesome job)
* reasonably priced iOS app w/ sync
* intuitive layout with containers (folders, Inbox, Today and upcoming)
* tags and contexts are easy to use and effective for organization
* The Hit List doesn't force you into using a system - you can use it how you'd like
* the hints at the bottom are great!
Some things I don't like:
* developer makes me nervous… he doesn't really respond to email. Also from what I read it was 3 years of promises before this app finally made it out of beta. I understand that software development isn't a straight-forward process, but good grief.
* the price is slightly high for what it does. This is more of a 40$ piece of functionality in my mind. However, there really aren't a lot of GTD alternatives that do what I want and I've done trials on quite a few of them! Sooo… I just paid the 50$.
* no dropbox or alternative syncing.
What would make this a 5 star app (or if the price were lower… obviously you expect more from a 50$ app than a 40$ app):
* rules - for instance, if I mark something with a certain tag (ex: /important) then automatically make it a priority 1. Or if it has a certain tag, move it to this list automatically.
* the ability to drop a file into a to do (instead of it just linking)…..more of a "nice to have"
* being able to iCal sync based on priority (I guess technically you can if you create a smart folder for high priority items and then set it to sync w/ iCal)
* a preferences setting to sync every X minutes. Instead I have to manually sync. If there is a way to automatically do this, I am unaware of it.
* ability to customize a few things: folder colors, list backgrounds, text colors….etc. The blue folders and yellow notebook paper are great at first… and then get boring.
I'm happy with this app and it does about 90% of what I want it to do. If you are considering either Things, Pagico, or Omnifocus, you HAVE to check out The Hit List.

what I dislike: sorting sucks (no way to not sort without headers, it waste too much space), notes access are a little clunky, more options to customize interface like turn off tabs (don't need them we have the side bar), cloud sync (give me a break, and paid? not only that but I would not trust the developer with him having access to my todo lists, (also apple provides free cloud now)
missing: collaborative or network share todo.
is dev going to do the separate iphone/ipad apps, probably since he only released a the iphone one. i think a universal app show the dev is considerate.
company: hard to trust a developer that took almost 3 years to get out of beta and sold to people like it was almost ready 3 years ago.

In my usage, not as powerful and functional as OmniFocus, e.g. Postbox support. (Things has this too.) However, I've heard there is browser support via chrome. The timer is useful.
The desktop and mobile apps are priced fairly, excluding the sync subscription.
The app doesn't have the same level of customer service/support as OmniFocus. For example, Potion Factory's Twitter feed "pauses" on Christmas 2009 and resumes May 31st, 2011. I received no news letters or updates etc. I thought they went under. Potion Factory's customer service (communication) is on par with Culture Code, which isn't a good thing.
Additionally, the developer didn't build in an alternative sync solution. Why couldn't we have a choice? For quite sometime, I was syncing The Hit List via Dropbox. Why couldn't this be support too?
Do you honestly think everyone needs "that" level of sync? Perhaps the Internet providers and Cell companies need to adopt the same philosophy?
Is this a one star app? No. However. after the long wait. I believe the developer could of given many early adopters a courtesy six months of sync service.
In the end, I'll rather this app whatever I want for whatever reason or reasons I want.

BTW I did get 3 months of sync and I got THL through Mac Heist. Those that bought the app outright got a year of sync for free or at the least 6 months so it's not like Andy is trying to rob people.
Now I await the iPad app!

Other apps sync without the need for a Cloud service. I've waited two years for this promising program and now it goes in the TRASH.

Also OmniFocus omits tags completely, which is a good choice.
Because of my past experiences with THL for iPhone, which I've been waiting on for years, hearing promise after promise, and the sync service which suddenly requires a fee (why no sync via MobileMe/iCloud?), I think THL is not a very reliable system.

I don't think it can get any more simple than that.

Tags, are those really GTD? Haven't found anything about tags in the book. And what about tags with a "/" within? And having as many tags as you want makes it only unnecessary complicated.
Like Mjkphoto says above: I've waited two years for this promising program and now it goes in the TRASH.

It's great to have the program *finally* out of beta and to see these bug fixes appearing so regularly now; it seems the program has finally got its feet under it, and I'm glad.
