I see reports that patches were required to get it working with Emacs
21, so I wonder how well it works 10 years later?  Choice is good, but I
suspect that it would be best to point Emacs users looking for task
management to something reasonably maintained like org-mode.  If you
disagree, could you try it out and report back whether it is working and
still useful?
