Microsoft to shut down Wunderlist in favor of its new app, To-Do

It's not really killed. The original Sunrise, Accompli and Wunderlist teams still work at MSFT and they're working on their new apps respectively. Chad works on Wunderlist. Javier still runs outlook. They just absorbed a bunch of other apps too

It doesn't matter where the team is now, the Outlook Calendar is not Sunrise nor To-Do is Wunderlist. I get what you say but the apps are gone (or soon to be in this case) and for the people that used those apps that is killing them.

I totally get where you're coming from, but Outlook is literally Accompli renamed. I see the opposition to Sunrise being folded into the Outlook client (it's not standalone), but To-Do is effectively the same as Wunderlist but their V2 that they've been gestating on for more than a year (a more to-do oriented view).

I presume that's the same Chad Fowler that wrote The Passionate Programmer?

Work has LinkedIn blocked, so I can't confirm easily.
