FWIW I mainly use OF for light management of document-based projects now – a kind of front end for DEVONthink, which is the main thing that keeps me booting OS X for the moment.
My attention was recently drawn to
this interesting interview (on software/hardware choices) with Ethan Schoonover, who initiated the OmniFocus project.
( He has now moved for most purposes to Arch Linux, retaining an OS X booting capacity mainly for the Adobe suite )
It seems to me that Apple Inc. and its shareholders have taken the view that the consumption-platform business concentrates capital faster than the work-horse platform business. Hence the progressive iOssification of OS X.
Inevitable ? Perhaps the future of work is generally more with open source, and the future of play (or at least the digital grazing component of play) with commercially-based consumer platforms, like iOSX
