Yea, I think some folks simply prefer one tool to another based on personal
comfort. I don't necessarily have a problem with folks using outside tools
if it makes them more productive, so long as it doesn't

   - alienate the team
   - alienate the volunteers
   - cause confusion by having multiple sources of truth (especially across
   tools)

Ultimately, the problem I initially posed is probably best solved by
personal accountability. If you like post-its on your wall, great. Notepad
you can cross out? Sure! Trello board for personal tasks? Have at it. The
issue that remains, however, is other folks seeing those to-dos...
