I found the same thing as Dan. That, and it's just too messy to have all those future due dates clogging up my view. Start date should rather be viewed as a defer date which could keep getting pushed as daily/weekly reviews progress.
Love the ability to nest context, which is an advantage over omnifocus. And the priority algorithm has so much potential, but just not quite there due to overweight on utilizing due date. But inability to better organize day based on start date for recurring tasks is a big killer. Glad to see others agree.
