I posted this to Andrey in the beta forum, but apps like OmniFocus charge a lot of money and use a good portion of that to market themselves. OmniFocus did and does sponsor a very wide variety of tech related things. There’s a lot of trickle down into people aspiring to be like those they sponsor from there. They were aided by being a part of the GTD boom that happened online among tech folks, but more money going into marketing is the main reason. You see the same pattern with all of the apps that really take off and maintain themselves like that.
The people that get really into OmniFocus—in addition to being Mac-centric—tend to use a lot of automation scripts and other things with it that I personally have never seen used productively. That’s about the only thing it’d really have going for it over MLO in my eyes. There’s attachment support I guess for images, but I don’t imagine people would compare the two programs and chose one over the other based on that feature. On iOS, they might support TextExpander too. I’ve always thought of MLO as the more sophisticated version of OmniFocus that was more flexible and had a Windows client, which I say as someone that’s now iOS centric. It’s also a lot cheaper, though I’d have paid as much for MLO as people pay for OmniFocus’s apps across the different platforms. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
