Omni roadmap (OmniOutliner on life support)

I have maintained active licenses for OmniOutliner since the days it came pre-installed on Macs. I used it regularly for many years but recently came to the realization that: 1) I use the software to outline documents for export to other software (Word, Pages) and I am not making use of the extensive formatting offered with OO. In fact, the formatting palette and options are more of a hindrance than a help. 2) I’m not using the automation available with OO. I just purchased Outlinely last week and have been happy with it so far.

In my opinion, if you’re not using the Applescript/Javascript engine and you’re not making your documents beautiful with all of the formatting available in OO, then it’s difficult to justify the (IMO) rather steep price.
