Yup - CarbonFin outliner is pretty damn good. It's simple, fast, intuitive... but it's a much simpler animal than OmniFocus, and doesn't fulfil the needs of those of us trying to do things the GTD way.
I wish Omni had started by developing OmniOutliner for iPad - get the outlining UI stuff sussed! - and then developed OmniFocus from that basis, rather than apparently starting with OF for iPhone, and fudging a rude outliner UI around it.
Of course, a week ago I was more than happy that they were tackling OF first, but that was before I tried using it :)
Damn, I'm demanding.

Can't say I agree with this; much as I feel Omni made a strategic error in deciding which iPad UI/app to develop first, I don't think anyone else has got a perfect GTD solution yet. This iPad version, much as I hate it, isn't the worst I've tried, and Omni's history suggests they'll refine it until it's good.
Gotta stay on the forums and argue for what you need, though :)
