I'm a person that follows GTD and has been using Omnifocus and before it Todoist, so I know that I come from a very complicated place that Evernote is not trying to replace.
With the addition of Tasks you are bringing context to those To-Dos and that it a good thing, but people will only have a task manager and so there is a need to evolve tasks more than just context of the action, you have to incorporate more that allows us to replace our current task managers.
Flagged is like starred and it's a good thing.
Projects (in GTD) can be the note that incorporates it.
Tags is one of the missing things here and there are two ways to go about it:
Show me the tags that the original note has, and I will change tags depending on the active action, but this does not help with different tasks that live on the same note.
Or for tasks, there should be a new tag field, perhaps #home or !work that work on the line level. These tags should be autocomplete and be able to be filtered (even Microsoft To-Do has this).
Indent - I'm a bit skeptical about this because I can see it should be obvious when looking at a note that I should be able to nest the task at least one level. But it would add complexity for something that I'm not sure is worth the trouble.
Recurring - this is a must have to be able to replace current task managers.
Templates - the current use of templates could be expanded to add templates for tasks (like routines daily).
As it currently stands it cannot replace my task manager but I would love to be able to do so.
