drewmca, I highly doubt that you will be satisfied with Things in a long run. It takes them forever to fix the obvious problems.

Second, it is too simple and feature-poor. It's interface seems nice at first but later it only distracts. If you have to deal with something more complex than ‘buy milk’, ‘walk dog’ you’ll have to use other planning tools.

Multiple contexts are one of the reasons I stick to Excel as a task manager. It is not fully compatible with GTD philosophy but it works. Though it usually takes more time to manage such database (thanks I have a lot of experience with it and can do it with my eyes shut), I’m free to do whatever I want and easily can adjust to specifics of the work without need to create additional planning tools.

I consider reasonable comparing OmniFocus to Excel (+Project) as OmniFocus claims to be professional task manager. :)
