When a task is deleted, the subtasks are not deleted and promoted to the root and moved to the Uncategorized category.  I think that not deleting the subtasks breaks the users expectation of what should happen and since the subtasks move to the Uncategorized, this can be disorienting since they are not even in the category that they were before..  Maybe a check box should be added to the confirm deletion dialog that asks the users if they wish to delete the subtasks as well.
