I wonder if the person you're replying to is correct in but in a different way.

Since text files and excel sheets are "outdated", we don't stack them up against bloated webapp that Asana is.

What if, really, excel sheet can just work? Its like we get so wound up in existing status-quo, we get narrow vision and forget the larger domain space for solving problems.

It's like the guy that ran a bunch of ETL jobs on a Macbook Air faster than a Hadoop cluster. KISS is beautiful sometimes and eye-opening. When someone brings up a ridiculous "outdated" idea, I try to keep an open mind. May be... just maybe we're wrong about all this?

How do you use a single Excel sheet across hundreds to tens of thousands of people ?

That's what apps like Flow, Asana, Jira etc are designed for. Not one or two people.

I don't see it as "outdated", but mostly as avoiding unnecessary overkill. But then again, my to-do lists rarely have more than 5 or 6 items, and I don't manage other people, so I'm certainly not the public for such apps. For my use case, text files are perfectly appropriate and I would feel ridiculous using anything else. Like using a tractor to work on my tiny lawn.
