OmniOutliner Pro is a flexible program for creating, collecting, and organizing information. Give your creativity a kick start by using an application that's actually designed to help you think. It's like having an extra brain - one that doesn't keep losing the car keys.
You can use OmniOutliner's document structure to create hierarchies of main headings and subpoints that can be expanded and collapsed, which are immensely useful when it comes to brainstorming new ideas, drilling out specifics, and lining up steps needed to get everything done. But you aren't limited to outlines - you've got multiple columns, smart checkboxes, customizable popup lists, and an Ÿber-innovative styles system at your disposal.
Use OmniOutliner to draft to-do lists, create agendas, manage tasks, track expenses, take notes, plan events, write screenplays...and just about anything else you can think of.
It's a smarter way to write, a more productive way to stay organized. Whatever your project, OmniOutliner has the tools you need to get the job done.
However, we didn't stop there - some features are just more relevant to the power user, and that's why we've created a "Pro" version of OmniOutliner with even more options.
OmniOutliner Professional includes in-depth outlining features like folded editing, clipping service support, audio recording, a new sections drawer, and saved templates. With OmniOutliner Professional, you can actively hide and display the information in your outlines - or quickly jump from one place to another - so you can save time and be more productive by focusing on exactly what you want to see. The new Names Styles feature in OmniOutliner Professional gives you even more options for fast and powerful editing. Download the Pro version today and try it for yourself!

While it's extremely easy to use, there are some powerful features it has especially in regards to formatting. Omni is a mature and responsive company with great support and an active community.
That said the only complaints I have are:
- It's taking forever for Omni to put out version 4
- It gets pricey to buy Omni's apps especially when you need to buy for the iPad and iPhone. Bundle deals would be very nice!
- No iPhone version. Even a view-only version would be helpful!

About a year ago I purchased NeO/Tao. I had tried it in the past and found it to be unintuitive, plus it felt like a work-in-progress with all the constant updating. This time it felt like a more mature application.
Almost anything I can do with OOP I can do with NeO.
I can't record sound directly into NeO. I don't recall ever using that feature in OOP, though.
I can't have a summary of the duration time in sub-tasks (yet).
Another feature that I did not find in NeO was related to the use of checkboxes. I sent feedback to NeO's developer and now that feature is working perfectly in NeO.
This is not to say that OOP does everything NeO does and more. It doesn't. These are just some missing features in an otherwise very powerful outliner. OOP has not evolved nicely. It lacks many features and recent development has focused more on compatibility, bug fixes, and minor enhancements than on adding truly "Pro" features.
For people preferring ease of use and who don't mind paying a premium, OOP is a decent choice.
Those who want faster development, truly "Pro" features (e.g., cloning), and don't mind reading a manual or accessing Help (as well as saving some money) may be better served by NeO/Tao.
A 6 year old comparison of both outliners:
http://www.atpm.com/11.10/atpo.shtml
Since that review, Tao (and later NeO) received numerous updates including not only bug fixes but also added features. The current price is $20. In the past 2 years, OOP has remained pretty much stagnant except for the above mentioned compatibility changes and bug fixes.
Although I have both applications, I have not made an outline in OOP since purchasing NeO, and I've used NeO regularly to create a variety of very diverse documents, from simple outlines to structure some ideas to more complex documents with links, pop-up lists, and a lot of formatting in terms of fonts, colors, backgrounds, etc.

I have found some bugs with the column titles. They are ones that I experience quite often and worth mentioning.
1. Not being able to change the format of the column title to align->centre.
2. Column title disappearing after changing the text in that cell and then clicking on to the rest of the document.
OmniOutliner3 was notified by other users including me of these annoying bugs and said they were working on the problems.
However, the end result since I noticed these problems about half a year ago seems to be a continuation of these problems. OmniGroup doesn't give enough bug fixes.
That being said, the application is easy to use, looks good, and generally works the way you want it to work.
If not for the lack of bug fixes I would give it a 5. All things considered it gets a 4.

I've been trying to stray away from OmniOutliner Pro as my personal info hub and project organizer for awhile (in favor for something with more productivity features), but I keep coming back to OmniOutliner because its a solid app that's easy to use and plays well with Mac OS X. I really hope they start focusing their new features less on desktop publishing, and more towards productivity. For example, the ability to link to cells. I think the search feature can be improved on. I don't like that the search bar is in the utility drawer. I also think the interface of the inspector can be cleaned up. If only their was something in between Omnioutliner & Omnifocus (and no, not Notebook, tried it... it's a cool app but I have some issues with it.) I've never liked OmniFocus because I find it overcomplicated.
That being said, OmniOutliner is the best in its class. I depend on it daily. I can't wait for 4.0. The app is due for a epic update. Come on Omnigroup... bring it!

It scales brilliant from the most simple outlining to very sophisticated ones. To get a feeling on how good it really is you have to try it as well as other outlining tools.
One of the things I have to mention is that the framework seams to be a bit dated. Maybe it is time to cut some old compatibility to get rid of some display problems.
All in all I can only highly recommend it to everyone who is looking for an outlining tool the first time or who is looking for an alternative.

Version 6 seems to be in the works, so all is not dead in OmniLand. ;-) Since OmniWeb is now free (I paid for mine too), by all means upgrade/use the latest version.
