The above screenshot shows an example of confirmation. When a user deletes a task, the bar shown below appears across the top of the screen until the user performs another function in the tool.
Though the bar is not the blatant example of confirmation typically seen in software - IE: "Are you sure you want to delete the task?" - I would argue that the bar represents a superior form of it.
Executing the confirmation in this manner requires less interaction from the user. It assumes that the user has performed the correct function and immediately allows the user to "unconfirm" the action if he or she has made the wrong choice.
Essentially, this feature of RTM assumes that users are smart - and they are - a factor often overlooked in typical software design.
