As for usefulness, I believe it is useful due to its general and simple interface for presenting data by views with hierarchical categories. However, I wouldn't say that it should be a prerequisite for managing bug reports and TODO items in Emacs. I think they should be editable as normal text files (though, in a predefined format) without requiring additional packages. Issue trackers could be implemented on top of text files as a tool to display data in different views (with all additional nice features like statistics, categorizing, etc. that existing issue trackers have) instead of default flat text. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
