I use CarbonFin's outliner as well, though less and less as time goes on. I have found its best use is for finite checklists that you'd like to have around. Repetitive task lists, for example. The only reason I say this is because the sync mechanism is convoluted, just like Apple's Pages. It's an import-export scheme, where if you want to use OO on the desktop and Outliner on the iPad, you need to keep creating new versions of the document. So adding, deleting and ticking off items becomes a pain because you have to keep track of all the subsequent files. That being said, CarbonFin didn't have to build in OPML support, so in that sense it's a brilliant workaround.

I'm very excited to see where Omni goes with OmniOutliner for iPad. I sincerely hope they start offering WebDAV syncing, perhaps over Omni Sync Server. Better yet, with a DropBox type scheme, where you have one folder full of .oo3 files that sync.

Just some thoughts.
