I think taskwarrior vs OmniFocus/Todoist/Things 3 is a similar vibe to vim vs IDE.

Some people want a minimalist tool that they can read a manual for and then configure / install extensions for to their liking, and some people want a discoverable batteries-included GUI.

taskwarrior is simply the program and format that has the most support and biggest extension ecosystem for that first group of people.

Both are fine.
