Well articulated, Amber!

I would also like to have inactive folders and on-hold projects show up in the project entry column. This "improvement" seemed like a regression to me.

I do like the fact that children of inactive folders are hidden in Active Project view. This makes it very easy to hide/show my Pending projects, which are all under inactive folders named Pending (themselves under folders for each of my life roles). But during quick-entry, I want access to every project that isn't already completed.

Here's a crazy idea for consideration: What if project searches included just active projects when the search text was in lower case, but included every incomplete project when the search text was in upper case? A preference could toggle the upper/lower case behavior.
