Check out Ready Five - https://www.readyfive.io. We originally built it because we weren't happy with the big 2 either.

Have you looked at Things, I've been using it for the last year and am really pleased with it.

Check out https://1lilac.com. Still in development. Pricing is temporary. Keen to hear feedback. This likely falls into the "vastly over-engineered" category. Also, it is only online at the moment. Disclaimer: I am the developer.
