No, of course, they are not. The user can select the todo, (s)he can uncheck
the todo and mark it as undone, and he can double click on the item to edit
it.

The thing is that first, the line makes the items much less readable, and
second, due to the line much more attention is drawn to the completed
items, and it's made harder to see unfinished todos (which are of course
ways more important than already finished items). That's the reason why I
liked the gray items more.
But as I also mentioned, grayed out might be interpreted as disabled.
