Hey! Thanks for opening this up. For my own needs scheduling works just fine. But lets see, maybe others need this as well (if so please upvote the issue).
I think it is different to "Schedule task": "Deadline/Due date" is the date when the task must be finished, while "Schedule task" seems more appropriate to define the beginning of a task.
Some other task software changes a label color as they get closer to the deadline (for example, red when the deadline is today)
You're right. The question for me is, what should happen with this information. Should it just be there just to look it up? Should there be a reminder? Should there be a special list for due tasks? Should they be integrated to the scheduled list?
When there are lots of tasks, this would be a handy feature. As coming from the Todoist world, the task should be in red (or have some other visible "negative" indicator like a triangle warning icon or something) if due date passed or even better, remind that the due date is coming. To see the deadline/duedate in tasks in similar manner than the estimated times now it would help tremendously prioritizing/ordering tasks or making scheduling decisions as superProductivity doesn't have priorities in tasks (which in my honest opinion usually overcomplicate todolists and are never used).
For consistency it would be great that there was something like "Due dates" list like "Scheduled" is now.
Just my two cents. :)
