Well, as someone who has filed many hundreds of bug reports with Omni, I can tell you that there are long-standing bugs which they choose not to fix even though fixing them should be straightforward, and when pressed, the word from Omni is as Rob reports: "not enough customers are complaining about that for us to take time away from things that get more requests." I'm not talking about feature requests, I'm talking about bugs. I doubt whether you would ship a product that had an obvious, easy-to-demonstrate flaw such as OmniFocus for Mac not retrying the sync that fails when the laptop wakes up from sleep and schedules OmniFocus before the network stack is fully up, because you seem to take intense pride in your work. Does the official Omni response here strike you as reinforcement of your position that bug fixes are not subject to votes? http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=23557

The auto-layout feature in OG Pro 5 has plenty of bugs, as Rob has amply demonstrated. Trying to work around them often exposes bugs in the Applescript support.
