I agree with being at the point where I'd happily pay for it (I'd actually pay for a mobile and faster desktop version that sync, as it's a bit sluggish on my netbook). What Joel said about it being a list of lists (a very simple idea), is what I like so much about it. Currently I'm using it for standard simple use cases (keeping track of stuff I need to do), non-standard use cases (tracking my weightlifting progress, between each set), and collaboration (my landlord and I keep a list of things to do). Oddly enough, I don't use it for software at all (what I investigated it for in the first place).

I introduced my (non-technical) girlfriend to it, and after a short explanation of how I used it, she took to it immediately, and uses it daily to keep track of her to-do list.

Yeah, it's kind of a mystery to me why my fiance doesn't like it. I suspect it has more to do with fearing the unknown when it comes to new software over actual usability concerns.

The way I see it, she really likes wedding planning, so I'm not going to rock the boat too much by pushing Trello, haha.

Can I ask, was your girlfriend already an organized person?
Nope, but she's trying to be one. She's like me, organization is something we both don't do naturally, but are trying to improve at.
