I agree, you don't have to convince me! You do, however have to convince Ken, and not being able to effectively counter the questions I raised about your apparent workflow makes me think that you are likely to be on the losing end of an engineering tradeoff. It isn't usually possible to please everyone, and your stance is going to make you an outlier compared to the much larger numbers of people who want their syncs to be reliably fast, and don't insist on the right to make changes on a device they never sync and yet not lose them. Omni being Omni, if you stubbornly insist that this means more to you than the ability to keep using OmniFocus, you may well get your money back. Putting in an action to remind you to do a sync every two weeks seems like an easier project than finding and migrating to a new task management system!
