I have been using Things for 8 years (Except for a year I spent in the wilderness when I searched for a personal todo app that could also be a shared team app as well).
It was always the best native experience on Apple platforms - they won an Apple design award, but they were always slow to update (Another reason I attempted to look elsewhere). Personally, it was also the most “natural” todo app I have used. It fits my mental model extremely well with a light but not onerous GTD model.
Last month they released version 3… and it’s absolutely amazing. The amount of care that went into every UI element, action and animation is simply incredible.
I admittedly hesitated to buy it for a few days as it is one of the most expensive suite of apps to buy, but I finally obught the iPhone app today and was blown away.
This is the app that allows me to stay organized - so if you are in the Mac/IPhone ecosystem, I can’t recommend it enough. But even if you don’t want to buy it, I think it is worth watching videos one the UI or at least buying the iPhone version to play with it and study the UI.
One last thing, it is on sale right now. So if you are tempted you may want to grab it soon.

I'm also an avid user of Things and also hesitated before upgrading to Things 3, but, like you, I found it to be worth every single penny. Both apps (macOS and iOS) are absolutely incredible.
The only issue I had was that upgrading the Things 3 breaks syncing with older versions, which kinda forces you to upgrade on other platforms. I don't regret upgrading though.

The UI interactions look great. I specially like the completion pie chart on each project, great idea.
For the non-Apple people, I've been using Todoist, and it has been pretty great. It is polished, and well featured, and it has some pretty cool features (loving the karma indicators every day). They've been around for 10 years and (even if you never know) they are in this for the long run https://tentimezones.com/why-we-don-t-have-an-exit-strategy-d3256107d958 (looking at you wunderlist...) and they are remote, bootstrapped and profitable.
I don't think it is that expensive though, a couple of years of todoist premium are 60$, which accounts for desktop and phone Things. So if you get a half-life of 2 years it is around 2.5$ per month which is pennies if it is a useful tool for you.
Happy todoing!
