If Omnigroup did this, it would cut down the forums in half and give your customers a real clue of what to expect from you. Then you won't have those 'vapoware' accusations anymore either.

Cultured Code certainly has a knack for attractive visuals, and their Arrivals page is no exception -- looks really nice.

But, as several customers in the thread have pointed out, the density of meaningful information is rather low. In fact, I'm not sure it tells us any more than we know about OmniFocus: a general idea of upcoming features and approximately which release they're targeting.

So while CC's Arrivals page looks sharp and maybe gives some casual observers a sense of being "in the know", I'm not convinced it's worth the effort. Ultimately, everything is subject to change anyway and none of it can be trusted. Such is the nature of software development; it's full of second order ignorance and it's all "vaporware" until it ships. ;-)
