Man, Omnifocus (and most of the Omni suite) seems so good, but it's so expensive. I absolutely am not opposed to paying for services, but a $10/mo subscription service or a $50+ app seems crazy for a task tracker.
I was a subscriber until I decided it was way too expensive for a glorified todo list which was really buggy (bad UI, sync problems, etc.) I tried Reminders again and found out that it could do everything I needed for free. I don't care about perspectives which can be replaced with tags, or deferred tasks which can be replaced with deadlines. I'm happy with Reminders actually.
Yeah I know OmniFocus cost a kidney... And even you have an in app purchase to add some features, so it could cost even more. But it's the only Task manager that I know to deferring tasks and perspectives, and I couldn't handle my workflow without it. For me the key part is to not feel overwhelmed.
At some point I've been thinking about developing my own app, but it would definitely cost me more than 50 bucks of my time... So I guess I'll pay.
Hey, I'm glad it's working for you! I wish it just were more accessible financially :(
