The purpose of OmniFocus is to implement the philosophy and techniques of Getting Things Done (GTD). My experience testifies that it accomplishes that purpose. […]

Omnifocus has changed my life. Well GTD has. Omnifocus is worth the effort, but you need to know about GTD. I loved midnight beep's Inbox, as it was curiously different, and an attractive looking app. However Omnifocus allows me to sync with 2 macs, and my iphone which actually is useful, not just a gimmick.
Omnifocus is simplicity, doesn't crash, very reliable (unlike bloody MS Office 2008.....don't go there...),
I think the whole problem with GTD apps is that you need to embrace GTD, before an app that supports it is of any use to you.
I had been looking for an app to allow me juggle my different projects and get some time back for life balance.
I have switched to OF after trying kinkless and iGTD and found it to be the best GTD implementation so far, if a bit overloaded with features. Works very stable, syncs nicely with different iCal calendars. Handles contexts and gives you the ability to map roles to folders.
Very handy app, though not cheap.
I didn't find Omnifocus to be compelling software. I use a mac at work and home, and have an iphone, and OF does not support my needs. It's a little slow and database-y. During the long beta, it seemed like there were too many design issues surfacing. I'm using Remember the Milk now.
Been using OmniFocus for about 2 month and I'm done with it. Annoying as hell app. Never defaults to the view that I was in previously. Perspectives is a a confusing mess. No changing font sizes.
The only good part was the quick entry. But why is there no associated quick view? Just tell me whats up next, with a system wide shortcut.
I dunno... maybe 2.0 will bring me back. But using omnifocus for GTD is much much more trouble than its worth.
I've been using Omnifocus for the whole pre-release phase, and I'm glad I did. It's probably the best GTD software out there. If you are a strict GTD applier (or not) and you want to be able to play around with your work, this apps give you the possiblity to do it.
I need to be in control of the list of tasks that I need to do. If it takes me too much time to find it out, I'd rather do it on paper. Omnifocus does give me that kind of control, which is the reason I've bought the product and I'm happy with it.
I've been using OmniFocus since the sneaky peeks and have passed from feeling somewhat underwhelmed by the earliest releases to being very impressed by the (constantly updating) latest builds. Although it is still pre-release, OmniFocus is now my "trusted system" thanks primarily to its comprehensive features. Furthermore, it is intuitive to use and reliably does everything a GTD system should. This is no simple to-do list!
I am keeping an eye on Things to see how it evolves but at present it still falls short of OmniFocus, whose comprehensive features, repeating actions and syncing to iCal (and hence my Palm for when I am on the go) combined with the current half-price offer swung the deal to convert my interest into a sale for the Omni Group. If the developer's past history of updating and improving their software is anything to go by, I honestly think that other apps will have their work cut out to surpass OmniFocus. Roll on the competition and consumer choice!
@ css_sam: I hope you're right. OmniFocus seems to grow too big, lately, and I would like to test drive Things.app before deciding whether or not to buy an OmniFocus license. But unfortunately, there's no public beta for Things.app yet.
I was quite disappointed by OmniFocus. Hiram, I strongly expect Things from Cultured Code to become the real killer app (http://culturedcode.com/things/). It seems to hit the sweet spot between ease of use and feature richness.
I'm trying this out now. Looking for a simple GTD app that is not too stringent since I use it more as a glorified to do list. Midnight Inbox looks cool but is way over my head, Actiontastic is nice and almost Open Source but development is slow, iGTD is pretty cool but way too much going on for my purposes, and What ToDo is nice and simple but a little too sparse. Omnifocus seems to be the winner so far. It's pretty stable so it should hit beta sometime soon. Not sure how many more features they are looking to add.
