The GTD principles are very perfectly supported by Toodledo.

Quickly upload an excel (CSV) file template of tasks to a folder for complex but repeating projects.

Pro Multiple Platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, Firefox, Chrome)
Turtl has applications for all the major operating systems, as well as Android. In addition, there are extensions available for Firefox and Chrome that cooperate with the downloadable applications.
Pro Open source
The app is licensed under GPLv3 making it open source. This means that anyone can use the code and contribute. This also makes it easy to use on one's own server or for company solutions.
Pro Good security
After assigning a password to your account in Turtl, a key is created to encrypt the entire account. No data is stored on their servers meaning they have no access to unencrypted content. This is a huge leg up when comparing to other Evernote alternatives.
Cons
Con Free version limited to 20 folders
Con Android app has annoying notifications
Whenever the app fails a background sync action for any reason (server issues, lack of internet connection, etc.), a notification appears.
Con Good as a starting point
Toodledo is a good starting point, but is essentially the same as an Excel spreadsheet where you have to build your workflow via the saved searches.
Con No iOS app
While many other operating systems have a client, iOS does not have one yet (though it is planned).
Con No image embedding
Instead of image embeddings, there's a sort of poor man's substitute: image + description. If you add an image, you can create a description of any size and with all the formatting features. It can be used instead of image embedding but much more limited: only one image and only at the very top.
Con Internet dependent
Requires Internet connection to initiate offline mode, loses access to notes without Internet or server.
