Yeah, I really want to change those headers to read "Projects with actions due today" (or whatever the heading should be). Right now, the interface doesn't make it clear what that grouping really represents, which does confuse folks.

Hence the confusion I’ve been griping about.

I don't know how we'll ultimately deal with this - but yeah, we're aware that the current setup doesn't work for some folks. This is definitely on our radar screen.

I don't think the solution is to get OmniPlan - for one person, it really is overkill. We're definitely committed to making OmniFocus work for as many folks as we can; once we get the iPhone application done - or invent a developer-cloning process - we can start in on version 2 and re-examine stuff like this.
