It's fully copy/paste anything and everything into it and out of it, trackable, usable on any device with OWA, ...
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.
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).
All besides the point, though.

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.
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).

NextCloud has tasks, too. Very simple.
Yeah I just wish it had commenting
Outlook task has that? or any task lists?

Nextcloud Tasks specifically

I'm using Google Keep. I love the simplicity.

@magicmarker +1 to Google Keep. Love the show checkboxes option:)

Wunderlist is nice for just a simple task list.
I'm using Wunderlist until it completely dies. (MS todo sucks)

I'm doing this more for personal stuff. I don't want to put work things out there when I have to be careful what I save.

If it had commenting it would suffice but it doesn't.

I am currently using Asana to track my day to day tasks but I'd like to find something self-hosted and open source if possible.
We currently use Microsoft Planner but I think looking at something else. Eh it's whatever.
Yeah it has like 10% promise, 70% wanted to gouge your eyes out, and 80% confusion about Sharepoint and where everything is stored.

I have found that a combination of Outlook tasks and then someplace to store refernce stuff (such as e-mails and files) that you can point to is a great option.
I also have no issues using Outlook.

My org is big on Teams, which is just a weird combination of software. It combines everything into one piece of software, which OKAY cool. . .
But it's unfreaking usable. Simple things are 4 to 5 more steps on average, the interface is goofy to say the least and I spend more time looking at this saying WTF than I would actually spend just logging into the web portal and making my changes directly in Sharepoint.

I store all that stuff inside the task itself. You can drag and drop emails, pdfs, etc... right into the task, and place them wherever you want.

I've gotta be honest, Outlook, for all its problems and complexity, is by far the best email app I've used. I know where things are at and how to get them where I want them. I can use my keyboard for mouse to get things done.
I'll keep trying others until I find another one that is just as good, but for now, Outlook does all the things I need it to do.
Edit: I use Outlook to track all my daily stuff as well. It's the easiest app I've seen that incorporates email, calendar, and task tracking for a single user. I've tried and never been able to find a good replacement.

@dafyre I don't personally find e-mail to be great for tasks.

Post edited. Better?
I generally don't email to be great for tasks, but Outlook does a decent job of integrating the two.
