> I like just popping "TODO" on the front of a line

Tasks can be created with `/todo` and additional ways - https://github.com/logseq/docs/blob/feat/db/db-version.md#cr...

> I don't want to have a drop-down list pop up with distracting icons

The Status property is customizable - https://github.com/logseq/docs/blob/feat/db/db-version.md#cu.... If you don't like the icons, you can delete them from a property's Available Choices - https://github.com/logseq/docs/blob/feat/db/db-version.md#pr...

> I don't want tags on the ends of my lines

Then press `Cmd-Enter` as the ui tells you todo and as documented in https://github.com/logseq/docs/blob/feat/db/db-version.md#cr.... Tags entered that way display as before

> I like having the status right at the front, not singled out as just one more property

It is in the front and the position of a property is configurable ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That you think this solves it for me is exactly the problem. It's taking the one thing that was ever intuitive for me when it came to managing things in my life, mangles it into a dozen steps that aren't remotely intuitive to me and don't even have common characteristics that would give me a heuristic to remember them, and asks that I completely change the way I do things and think about things to suit some back end I don't want and don't need.

That's why I rejected using Notion. Using it requires forcing my mind to operate inside someone else's system.

Logseq finally felt like someone whose brain works like mine made software for people like me.

And now it's being systematically dismantled for the sake of the hordes of people who already have other tools serving them just fine.

Like I said, I get that it's not my call and people are going to do it anyway. I just hate it more than I've ever hated any software change I can remember.
