Unfortunately, nothing comes even close to MLO. I have looked hard, and the only thing I found was an open source package which had some great features, but written in Java (i think) and is just painful to interact with (so ugly, etc) that it detracts from productivity, at least for me.
In the several months that I have really began using MLO, some unexpected "properties" have emerged where I am relying on the software substantially more than I ever thought I would. Perhaps this is a result of implementing the first few milestones of GTD as well, but I am also using MLO to visualize swaths of my life and to do substantial planning. At this point, I would be happy to use the Windows software even if all other platforms became unavailable. The only alternative I can think of that would cover my specific use cases would be Microsoft Project! So yes, it is somewhat uneasy to rely so heavily on an application from a small shop, but as others have stated elsewhere, if anyone can pull it off, these guys can, and have done a great job so far.
