CC has kind of been a golden boy to Apple in promos--as a featured developer, winning an Apple Design Award for their desktop version, and becoming a featured app on the iPad page. To boot they have a very snazzy website with a designer who can do great pen and ink infographics on their blog posts to add an air of sophistication and diligence to their brand. But it's all gotten to their head and combined with stiff competition from OmniFocus it looks like they simply had their motivation shot and has reasoned that it would make more sense to sit back and milk the free Apple publicity cash cow. Look at their iPad product page. It's been like that since April. Through all of the sheen, there are cracks.
What's sad is that it's the worst kind of corporate laziness and suck to throw up gorgeous graphics (ex:http://culturedcode.com/status/ http://culturedcode.com/status/) and create a false connection to reliability and customer commitment. These guys have lost a lot of trust and there is no evidence that even after this release that they'll continue innovating at any reasonable rate.
