I have to confess that I'm disappointed that Omni continues to market OmniFocus as a 'To Do' App rather than as a GTD program. It is this, I feel, that contributes to the polarisation as to whether OF is value for money.

The latest screenshots for the iPhone show a shopping list for carrot cake, ▢ buy eggs, etc. and for the iPad, holiday planning, ▢ thingy for Maldives.

I don't believe that OF is the best product for these kind of scenarios. Sure, if you already have it you can shoehorn this kind of stuff in, but as an OF user since its launch, I've long since discovered that shopping, travel etc. are better devolved into other Apps, such as HoneyDo, TravelTracker, etc.

As a mid-range GTD program, OF is good value for money, but at $200+ for the suite and books, alongside a steep learning curve, encouraging people to buy it to plan a carrot cake is IMHO attempting to sell a very expensive sledgehammer to crack some rather small nuts.
