With a few minor changes, it's possible to make List View much more powerful, and manage most your task activities right from within List View, without having to open the individual task popup.

-Allow text formatting inside task/subtask titles, at the very least bold. (this is really the most critical missing feature for us)

-Allow line-return inside task/subtask titles (this is critical as well. if a 2-3 line title is sufficient to show all details needed for a subtask, having to add a description doesn't make sense)

-In List VIew, Tasks/Subtasks are missing comment icon/count. Can't tell which tasks/subtasks have comments from within List view. So if working primarily from list view

-Add a "Comments" column, which shows comment count.

-When hovering over task/subtask name, show more options such as adding comments or attachments right from List view. http://prntscr.com/ps1bfk

-Allow showing comments inline, just like subtasks. http://prntscr.com/ps180k

-Allow showing attachments inline, just like subtasks.

-Allow expanding/collapsing task description right within list view, so there's no need to open task popup. (only shows up for tasks that have description text)

-In Lists, on left side of task, allow showing the status checkbox always expanded for all tasks. It's hard to tell task status visually with a thin line, and also tricky to move mouse into proper place to expand it http://prntscr.com/ps198t

-Allow emoji icons inside Status names. Or assign an icon to a status.
