Even though I bought Omni Focus, I switched to Things. It just works better for me. Visually it is more appealing and it has less buttons and views compared to OF. Simplicity is king.

I've used Things for a couple of weeks now and I planned some major things with it like immigrating to another country and getting a whole lot done for my business. I use it every day with pleasure.

Although I love just about anything OMNI, OF really wasn't working for me. Neither were any of the other 10 apps I tried. I was looking for something as easy as TaskPaper but something powerful like OF. Things is it. In my top three favourite apps on my Macbook Pro.

i've struggled with iGTD (overcomplicated, weird syncing), through OmniFocus (despite the "Omni" quality prefix is the app interface confusing and the price just too high) and ended here with Things being happy. Things has just the mac clean interface and simplicity, cruicial in GTD. during a busy day there is no time to eat and drink, not to study an overcomplicated app. thanks

A near-perfect application. I use this constantly during my hectic workday, to keep tabs on my priorities when my own head can't keep up. Previously I had an entire 1600×1200 display full of Post-it-notes for the same purpose. I've inspired two other of my workmates to start using it. I can't wait until there's iPhone sync support!

Things is just an awesome program. I own omnifocus but find it takes a lot of work to get it right. Things works the way my brain works. It still needs improvement it isnt even at v1.0 yet. Of course it will support the iphone in June.

After reading GTD (what a relief!), I found it ironic that most GTD apps were not simple to use and actually complicated processing tasks. Things follows two philosophies: GTD simplicity and Macintosh elegance.

Things succeeds where I believe OmniFocus failed. This is an easy to use application. Within ten minutes I had inputed over a dozen projects and next actions.

Kudos to Cultured Code!

I think tagging is the key difference and usability enhancement. it allows you to impose your own cross-task structure -- priorities, categories, statuses, etc. whatever the designers didn't think of or want to clutter the UI with.

I'm really enjoying using Things, which means I DO use Things, which means it's actually of help to me in getting things done. As others have already said, once it gets Apple app integration and the ability to export/sync the info it will be a truly killer app.

It's attractive. But more than that I like its simplicity and flexibility; the neat way it handles the Someday and Postponed aspects of my life. Just a joy to use.

For perspective: I have tried Actiontastic and iGTD. Actiontastic was just a bit too austere and rigid; iGTD is fussy and requires too much "fooling around" with tasks, thereby defeating the purpose. I wanted a simple, elegant tool that would allow for quick capture, speedy processing, and no-brainer retrieval. Things is all that. Bravo! I'll be happy to pay for this app when the time comes.

I moved over from OmniFocus a couple of weeks ago and find Things much more usable. It seems like the developers took OF as a starting point then took it where it was supposed to go.

The simplicity of having predefined views for just seeing the next x actions, and marking stuff for today over a cup of coffee in the morning is just fun! As mentioned, the postponing is also really well done.

Being faced down by that list of next widgets to crank is both a wonder and depressing at the same time ;)

I know this is all possible with OF through perspectives, but I found that a bit arcane.

Things is more like OSX, OF more like Gentoo
