OmniFocus v. iGTD
EHD | Jun 26 2007
Just curious if Mac users see these two apps (OmniFocus is still in beta) as the main competition in OS X. It seems from this forum and others that Mac users spend most time talking about these than other apps (Actiontastic, Thinking Rock, etc). Would anyone care to predict the outcome of a "race" between the two apps? Can OmniFocus keep up if iGTD? Perhaps OmniFocus will arrive too late given iGTD's popularity and price. Or is it comparing apples and oranges? 14 Comments

I think Bookends would be good examples. I guess I have to define "great success". NetNewsWire, Bookends and SuperDuper don't meet what I meant. Mori, though a great product is another example. Examples of great success from the past include Claris Organizer (started by a small team then sold to/hired by Apple). Chronos (even with currently questionable products and lousy support) their team sells many apps and give a sense that (for better or worse) they are there for the long haul. SketchUp (talk about a boom; I know many of you don't know about SketchUp: exponential growth and then bought by Google). Delicious Monster. Even if you think there are a few loner success stories, I suspect if you knew the background you'd see they weren't alone, and clearly it takes a team to create the presence that reassures customers and to refine applications and all the associated support structures to make software a great success. Though you maybe a single parent, who was it that said it takes a village? » POSTED IN:
