For each top level task, I would end up with a OneNote page with multiple screenfuls of deeply indented notes and ctrl+1 checkboxes everywhere.

That was terrible. The process of settings things up was really cumbersome and navigating throught the note afterward was hyper painful. I also remeber being frustrated by not being able to properly print the whole thing.

That thing that was a mainline feature of Microsoft OneNote in 2007 and worked just fine and I STILL never used? I thought it was the neatest feature but even my friend who runs everything out of OneNote doesn't use it much.
