Couldn't imagine living without this app!

I wish I hadn't paid for it. Getting presentable output is excruciating. It won't turn off automatic hyperlink formatting. I feel like I'm using Microsoft Word, the way it's trying to second-guess my attempts at formatting. Searching for "hyperlink" in the help messages gives no results -- I can accept poor help files in a free open-source app. but for a commercial product, it's really unacceptable.

Ok - there's an option in the general preferences to "Automatically create attachments from typed URLs" which turns off hyperlink formatting. But the burden is on the user to search for URL as a synonym for hyperlink.

Too little bang for the buck. With the release of OmniFocus, there is a much more focused app for GTD like activity. For brainstorming, the standard version of Mindmanager or even FreeMind are more suitable.

Unfortunately, there are little samples for other purposes, e.g. a meeting agenda, a budget etc. And there is little value in the upgrade from Standard to Pro, other than the voice over or video, which you may not want to put into an outline anyway. It looks a bit as if the developers where not sure themselves what added value to provide in exchange for the money.

OOP is also limited in that the column style is fixed. I have tried this doing meeting protocols. The Who/When/What columns would expand the whole document, even when they were only needed for the last paragraph.

At last - 3.7.1b has Quick Look support.

The voice record is a nice feature, and is the only reason I upgraded. I'm really glad I did. Although there are all kinds of voice programs, including in Office, which I have, but OO is more stable, I think. I use the audio to record my thought, then I put them into OO. It is now essential for me.
I don't like the styles at all, but I also haven't really learned too much about them.
My only other request would be better integration with DevonThinkPro, but I can imagine that won't happen. Hey, intrepid scripters, got any ideas?

I'm using this as my primary RSS agregator and I'm lovin it! It's really simple to use. It doesn't have as many features as NetNewsWire, but i's still worth the money. I love the idea of the News Bin and the tabbed interface :)

It is indeed a nice RSS reader - tried NewsFire which doesn't attract me as much.
