They make a good demo, but in practice I've rarely found tasks useful.

In most cases a flow has very few steps (2 or 1) and is triggered
through a callback. This makes it much simpler to simply put it into a
callback method, instead of creating a new class, implementing some
methods, instantiating that class and passing the arguments.

I think the only time I used a task was for a Tic-Tac-Toe game, where
it was used as the controller mediating between the computer and
player.
