The flip side of it is that OmniFocus needs to be so customizable because the defaults are not great. (I feel the same about the default styles in OmniGraffle.)

I was a die-hard OF1 user, but they've completely lost me with the OF2 redesign. Large checkboxes on the right stress me out on mobile (that's where my scrolling finger rests), and it took months before there were layouts in OF2 for Mac that had the same information density as in OF1. I haven't even tried OF3.

- ken 7y agoPlanning and scheduling tools are weird. Everybody has their own system already. So software is either simple (and doesn’t work for most people) or incredibly complex (and requires massive customization). Or they say “just redesign your whole life around our app!” I’m not even sure which one OmniFocus is trying to be.
- m463 7y agoI had the same experience with OF2, but honestly think it wasn't entirely their fault as ios 7 sort of pulled the rug out from under the world. that said, even with stupid round checkboxes of2 runs my life, which would be much more chaotic without it.
