subprojects rather than just tasks
I like to use GTD style project titles and then group subprojects under these headers. At the moment if I do this with a task and complete my last current task it will complete my sub-project.
As I understand, the major problem is that parent task disappears when last subtask is closed, and you have “hide completed” mode on.
I believe, this problem is solved now, please check the behaviour on the site.

I like subprojects too - like used in Todoist and TimeGT - but more for the reasons of speed in accessing these 'checklists within checklists' and also for sheer clarity.

Kirill - you are assuming that projects are completely planned in advance, with all tasks determined, such that when the last subtask is 'complete', the task/project itself is complete. But in practice many people (including me) only plan personal projects a few tasks in advance (and this is the way GTD recommends as well). So if I complete the last subtask on my list, it does NOT always mean that the task/project itself is done, it can often just mean that I have not yet determined the next subtask. Having the project disappear is a major annoyance.

It's seriously annoying that, when hide completed tasks is checked, the item disappears when it's subtasks are completed. I love Checkvist. Most useful list manager, ever! but this one thing is killing. I've learned to work around it (usually by just deleting tasks) but it'd be great to be able to retain a task history. It's just really inconvenient to have to display finished items, find the one I want to use again, create a new item, then hide closed items again.

If you complete the last task in subproject, the subproject is indeed completed, isn't it? If you need to reopen, just add another non-completed subtask.
What is wrong with this behaviour?
