Going through the process of what software is fitting my organization concept best I compared OF with Things and THL- the latter has some neat input options but lacks good (and affordable) syncing, Things has the most beautiful interface and looks a lot cleaner compared to OF, but is simply not possible to handle the complexity of my planning efforts, especially at work.
The biggest advantages of this not-so-easy-to-get-started-with software is the robust syncing option through any WebDAV and the complexity one can apply to the structure.
Sync is fast and robust, no data loss ever until now.
Actions can be divided into subtasks and on the top level Folders enable You to group things into logical groups. The view is the most versatile and flexible piece of work: You set all the parameters and then simply save the perspective- this way You can create VERY individual filters that suit the need of the advanced and serious planner. Supposedly, for everyone else the interface is to confusing, as you can also see from the reviews below- these people might be better off with Things... but You will have to settle with mediocre syncing and less power, when the tasks are getting bigger and more complex.

The remarks concerning the calendar integration are a bit two-edged cause basically, OmniFocus is not about events but task organization. I am always having iCal and OF simultaneously in horizontal split which gives me the opportunity to edit my events according to my task outlines. Surely better integration would be nice but since You can even just drag and drop tasks onto the calendar, this is as feasible as it gets.
For tasks with a due date you can activate a special OF task calendar in iCal which synchronizes with OF and displays due tasks at their according time.
Further cross- integration is currently being implemented as You look at the iOS versions of OF- the company already stated that Forecast view (which beats anything I have to date seen in terms of task planning) will be an integral part of OF 2.
All in all your post is a perfect example of what happens if someone espects OF to reduce chaos in Your life- instead it adapts so perfectly that it reflects your chaos to you... this might be sobering but that‘s actually the hallmark of good software- it shapes around you not the other way around.

Has OminGroup publicly announced when 2.0 will/might be available, or have you contacted them directly to ask?
+86
They haven't publicly announced it as far as I know. I was basing my conjecture on the fact that the version number is up to 1.9.3 and that they recently released 2.0 of OmniPlan. Haven't asked them directly yet, but if I don't get a response here I'll try that.

2. Syncs
3. Not that complicated to use as I thought
4. A little expensive, but A) see 1. and B) it has several sync choices, some for free

Why migrating all my data to an other software ?
— Because OmniFocus have an interface that's no longer pleasant (the NeXT style is descending, it's grey and the toolbar is outdated in my opinion).
— Because the price for getting all apps (iPhone/iPad/Mac) is very high and it's very sad
But OmniFocus stays a good software, but perhaps a little outdated when checking the competitor.

After trying Things, waiting for The Hit List for a long time and having longer looks at a ton of other To Do apps I finally chose OmniFocus. It's the best concept out there, Sync with the iPhone works perfectly with MobileMe and doesn't cost.
Ok, the price could be a little lower, but considering how long v1 has been out it's not that expensive anymore.

Have you seen the iPad app? It is the most beautiful app on my iPad! It is the standard that all apps should imitate.
All this is to say that this is all relative. What looks ugly to one, may be beautiful to another. I've got all three OF apps and love them all and the synching is FREE! Over the life of those pay-to-synch apps, you'll spend much more than what you spent on OF.

For Omnifocus to be useful, it has to have some complexity. However, this complexity apparently puts many people off. I think that if people gave themselves a little time to learn and experiment with Omnifocus, they would find that it is very learnable. For Omnifocus to have the necessary complexity and yet be so learnable, it has to be well thought-out; with that comes expense.
Omnifocus has made all the difference in my worklife, and for that I say thank you to the Omni group. It makes me want to tell everyone about it and encourage everyone to take the time to get to know it. Often those things with you can get *now* (instantaneously) have low value; those things which have great value you must cultivate over time.

Overall, this app continues to be the best of its kind on OS X.
It doesn't work precisely the way I'd prefer in every aspect, but it's still a reliable and highly useful way to manage tasks on a daily basis.
