I've got to agree with Josh, in general.
The mock up wastes WAY too much space. It needs to be clean, simple and compact. Simply because there's more screen real estate does NOT mean you should waste 1 pixel of it!
Left column needs to be narrower, the right, a bit wider. Lose those dreadful grey trenches on both sides and all the space around separate list items ALL need to go away.
A simple thick divider/resize separator line between both sides would be sufficient.
It's also dull and nearly monochromatic. It desperately needs More Color!
Icons are too large. In Box counter and New buttons are awful.
I loathe the huge check boxes taken from the iPhone/iPod touch version.
As others have mentioned, using the desktop version of OF makes much more sense as a jump-off point rather than "borrowing" too heavily from the iPhone/iPod touch version or Things.
As far as a good design goes, check out the ill-fated The Hit List, which I find preferable to Things or OmniFocus. The tabbed interface is quite nice and their subtle use of color works well. I would have purchased THL instead of OF, had the developer had the time and resources to fully support it. AND a real timetable for releases and full iOS support. It's a shame.
Hire their interface designer!
