iGTD vs Midnight Inbox

Good afternoon 43 folders forum users,
I know it's a very sparse and generalized question, but I've just got myself into GTD, have been restructuring my busy workflow and am in a bit of an opinion stalemate.

I started out on iGTD, and so far it's been fantastic. I've checked the demo out on Midnight Inbox - it seems visually superior, and it definately walks you through a more rigid structure of GTD (or so it seems), but I wonder if that's going to be a curse later on. However, some of that more defined task management seems like it would be a great way to keep me inline with my management. iGTD on the other hand seems to sync well with other applications, and the hopes of syncing it with multiple machines via iGTD pro seems very promising.

So I'm just wondering everyone's thoughts here, has anyone picked one of these two, and compared why? Thank you!

I use iGTD daily. I actually enjoy it--I don't feel dread knowing I'm getting reading to face my todo list. It's comfortable, very much so. It also plays nicely with MailTags, Journler, Textmate, Opera, Safari, Firefox.....

If it helps, I have OCD and ADHD, and so avoidance, dread, forgetfulness...all there. :o But I've even set up a laptop maintenance schedule in it, and things are truly getting done.

(I'd like to change the icons, though, the screaming yellow exclamation point takes away from the soothe. I might have to just do that.)

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
