Cons
Con Notifications don't look too nice on Windows
Due to limitations of Vala + Gtk on Windows I have not found an easy, elegant solution to display "native looking notifications".
Con Windows version startup too slow, on 1st time use
8G RAM, SSD, ToDoList Starting always takes 3-5 seconds to load, but if you go to settings and tune it to start with Windows and to minimize instead of closing, it will be instantaneous next time you use it.
Con Android app is in early stages still
Only the Windows version is fully-featured. The Android app is still in early development.
