The #1 problem I have with most to-do list applications is that they don't support (or have bad support for) subtasks. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like this is a main feature of todo.txt either....

Google Tasks supports sub-tasks. I use "Tasks" on android for phone sync (weird that android has no native task app to sync with google tasks -- atleast I've not found one)

I've come to the conclusion this isn't actually a problem. If you don't think of your to do list as a tool for organizing projects but merely of a list of things you need to do, you don't actually need sub tasks.

But you do, of course, need to block some time every now and then to take a bird's eye view of where your projects stand.

This works for my, but YMMV of course.
