Daly,

The only one of the Omni products I’m really familiar with is OmniOutline, which I own. Frankly, I have been disappointed in this product—or perhaps I should say I’m disappointed with what I’ve been able to get out of it. True it offers fully functional customizable columns. But I find it very slow to use. Really, to me, it feels like a clunky spreadsheet more than an outliner, even though it certainly has hierarchical levels. All in all I have just never warmed up to OO, so I didn’t even think about it when I was making my list.

BTW, I wasn’t including the concept of project or day planning in that list either. There are a number of cool task management products for the Mac, but I really never use that type of product myself, so didn’t want to comment on them.
