I think Trello is going to win the task management wars. It's better designed for mobile (card interfaces), simple to start with additional functionality bundled in, its interface is general purpose rather than specific to developers, and it's building a robust platform. I think this company has executed it very well. Bravo.

One thing that surprises me is that Trello's cards don't behave like cards, whether on iOS or Android. They simply look like cards. You don't swipe them to do anything. You don't multi-select the cards.

They're just card-looking buttons that open up a modal dialogue, and they've been this way since the beginning. I find it rather slow or bulky compared to Google's concept of cards.

yes fair point. agreed.
It also has a head start over the competitors. This might sound like not a big deal, but it has already some very vocal supporters in the blogosphere who've been recommending it for ages.

The only way it can fuck up is if it goes the Evernote way

Well, I think the product is just better. Asana, Atlassian, and other products has been out there for ages.
