I suspect that i have a similar response to the OmniFocus UI as the posters above. If only OmniFocus was "plain or understated". Instead i find the UI clunky and jarring. Look at the arrows indicating either sequential or parallel projects, those hideous little archive box icons, or the constant resizing of the main window when switching between perspectives.

The power of the OS X aesthetic is that it melts away over time; the OmniFocus UI for me has had the very opposite effect.

Why do i keep using it then? Because its more general functionality far outweighs anything else on the market and more than makes up for the frustration i feel. I realise this all sounds pretty superficial (and ungrateful), but when the Mac experience is so much about an emotional attachment to the product then i think it is a discussion worth having.
