OmniFocus v. iGTD

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?

Doesn't sound like a one...

That is after the acquisition of NNW by NewsGator. Brent successfully developed NNW into arguably the best newsreader on the market for Mac OS X. Competitors such as endo and NewsFire have entered the fray, but NNW is still the app to beat.

Not only that, but Brent was also developing the blogging companion to NNW MarsEdit before Ranchero's acquisition by NewsGator. MarsEdit was then sold to Red Sweater Software.

The reason Brent ended up selling MarsEdit and agreeing to the acquisition of Ranchero and NNW by NewsGator is that as an independent show, he had taken NNW as far as it could go. That sounds like a huge success to me.

Let's be sure we have our history straight, shall we?

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
