Simple Outlook tasks is great.
Outlook and "Simple" never go together.
You're disdain for bad products is showing again.
FTFY
If Outlook was simple and reliable, I'd be just fine with it.

I rarely have issues with Outlook. Granted years ago it used to be a bigger problem. And I'll admit I don't use OSTs (I know people have issues with those things too).

From an MSP side, Outlook seems to exist just to generate billable support hours. Don't get me wrong, it makes money for us like crazy, so I'm thankful for it from a business perspective. But I'd have to be pretty unethical to recommend it, because it just screws the customer and lines the hourly support IT pockets.

I'm quite happy with Outlook TASKS. I've tried a ton of other things and they are all WAY over complicated full-blown project management crap. Not what I want. Your view of Outlook Tasks is subjective.
It's fully copy/paste anything and everything into it and out of it, trackable, usable on any device with OWA, and there's a ton of features you can use that aren't shoved down your throat. It's simple and effective for daily/weekly/monthly task and simple project management tracking for yourself, and also some simple sharing and collaboration features if needed.

I'm old school... I use sticky notes.... They're everywhere! It doesn't work, but it's what I use.

Tasks is fine, it's all of the support needed to make it work. If they separated it out and it was its own, simple thing. Sure.

If you can use it with OWA, is it really Outlook Tasks? Now it is just Exchange Tasks, which I'm fine with if you don't have to install Outlook.
OWA / Exchange's task list is simple and easy.
See, Outlook is so complex, even conveying the tool you want to use isn't simple.

Wunderlist is nice for just a simple task list. Google tasks isn't bad either.
-
NextCloud has tasks, too. Very simple.

Yes, the URL says outlook.office365.com, and a button at the bottom says "Tasks"...
https://outlook.office365.com/owa/?path=/tasks
Also, the "O" in "OWA"... do you know what that stands for?

It stands for it, but it's not Outlook. It's part of Exchange, not part of Outlook.

I'm not sure what you're on about now? Exchange OWA is basically Outlook, only completely hosted. Very few things that Outlook can do that OWA can't (add-ons is a huge one, but I know of a few other smaller features (tasks related actually) that I do miss from OWA).

Yeah I just wish it had commenting

All besides the point, though.

You said many years ago that locally installed Office is just a web app running locally... how does that make Outlook local any different from Outlook from Exchange? (sadly I do know the code base is different - see last post).
