In reference to this question: I have a few hundred tasks to import, but the XML API is overkill for a one-off thing - it would still be faster to pay someone to copy and paste the tasks for me.

It would be really nice if you allowed me to copy and paste a long list of tasks (one per line with no metadata) into a textarea. I'm sure you have a lot of potential customers who are coming from ad-hoc trackers (Notepad, Excel) or very simple task managers like Google Tasks or Basecamp.
