Thanks for sharing - I'm a GTD fan, and have implemented on both windows and OSX systems.. tried just about everything out there. I have also played with just about every piece of project management software that seems useful.
First, your interface is very nice, and mostly intuitive.
However, to me, I could never see using the application unless it integrated into my e-mail system. This is a minimum for actually using as part of my workflow. As a bonus, I usually configure my GTD systems to integrate with my calendar (ical and google cal).
A nice web app is interesting, but to me, and I expect most power users, GTD is about managing existing information (e-mail, calendars, folders, files, etc), not for creating meta-lists which indirectly and subjectively modify the information I need to deal with.
