I’ve also pretty much switched to Toodledo. And yes, I’m aware that “Smart Add” requires you to learn commands, as well. My point was simply that it is easier and faster to add tasks to RTM, both from email (especially if you use Gmail and the Remember the Milk for Gmail extension) and from the website (with Smart Add). I wouldn’t mind learning the codes (and I would learn them faster) if it made it easier to add tasks on the main website as well by email.
I hope that makes a little bit more sense…

I find Toodledo to be much more powerful than Remember the Milk. I was amused that you indicated to use email to Toodledo, you wrote that “you have to learn a special code if you want them to be placed in the appropriate folder, context, etc.” Later, you said “They need to do something similar to RTM’s new “smart add” feature instead of making me go through a bunch of text boxes and drop-down lists to classify a new task by due date, priority, context, etc.”. In fact, the mysterious language that you claim to have to learn to use Toodledo’s email-in feature is virtually identical to RTM’s so-called “Smart Add”. They both rely on the use of single-character codes to identify the paramater you are expressing, plus a delimiter. Moving from one to the other is brainless, beyond having to learn 4 or 5 new characters to work with.
