I'm sure Things has deficiencies as well and I'm not saying it's "better". I didn't find myself stumped trying to use the program instead of having it help me manage my tasks. Plus, the interface is beautiful and simple. In Things, on the other hand, I can add as many tags as I want. OK I guess, but why do I need to make (and understand) this distinction? Again, IMHO, this is needless complexity lopped onto the user. Then there are the OF views (Command + 1, Command + 2). And again, you really need to understand it.

Seems very limiting and confusingly implemented.

Really? The way I think of context is it's sort of like metadata. Plus, you can only assign one context to a to-do. In OmniFocus, the whole concept of "context" is strange - at least to me. Something is wrong when software is this complicated and too much of that complexity is lopped on to the user's shoulders.ĭoing some Internet searches, I found similar feedback. Rather than being intuitive, I found myself needing to watch the OF videos again and again and still not being sure I "got it". With OF, it was all about using and understanding OF. With Windows, it's all about Windows, not your applications. Actually, OF sort of reminds me of using Windows. I also think the application is not very attractive, which isn't as big a deal if it's really a productivity booster, which I don't think it is either. I had to call support to find out I needed to fiddle with the Perspectives (change it "back" (?) to "All). In my first few minutes of playing with it each project I added went away after I closed and reopened the program. Love them both and use them often.įirst impressions (after 3 hours of struggling): Yuck.
