This may sound a bit strange, but I kind of wish Omni was less perfectionistic. I love OmniFocus, and I actually think it is already fine as a 1.0 release. But Omni keep it in alpha, and keep adding features. Why don’t they ship this thing so that everyone can use it, and add the new features in point releases. Seems like they don’t want to leave the kitchen sink out of the first release. A stable, but slightly underpowered, 1.0 is better in my view than a full-featured alpha or beta that nobody can use, especially if the features appear in later upgrades.

Too perfect?
