A dream to no Apple users ...
Deciding to be Mac-based only; while this may be the company's idea of an advantage, I strongly disagree.
While I must say that OmniFocus looks quite impressive - but with so many great tools out there in the competition with multiple OS and device integration, this makes it a very easy decision to NOT choose OmniFocus. Even if I decided to be exclusively Mac-based with my company, the number of clients out there using Windows or other platforms... not feasible.
After speaking with OmniFocus and finding out they have no plans for pursuing cross-platform solutions - I have no plans of pursuing to try to make OmniFocus part of my work environment wither; there are so many other great alternatives now.

I used OmniFocus in its early days and Kinkless kGTD for OmniOutliner before that. I also used other OmniFocus apps like OmniWeb. I like the long history of The Omni Group developing for NEXTSTEP and macOS. But I would prefer a task list app with less buttons to fiddle with.

Wirecutter writes the following about OmniFocus in their guide "The Best To-Do List App:"
OmniFocus has a reputation for being one of the best to-do list apps you can get. Its robust system allows for the most thorough customization of any app we tested, with every feature you could imagine, from tags within tags to powerful filtering and forecast views; it even allows for JavaScript integration, so tinkerers can go wild fine-tuning their workflows. That said, OmniFocus costs more than any of the other apps we tested—even its subscription option costs $10 per month, which is notably higher than any other app with a subscription. The iOS version alone costs $50 for the Standard upgrade and $75 for the Pro upgrade. The extra bit of power OmniFocus offers isn’t worth the premium for most people. And the OmniFocus system has a higher learning curve than the competition—you could really just spend that time getting your work done.

I would have bought the full version years ago if only it were cross platform!
I completely agree johnclark! What a shame.

I agree! Contrary to other comments I have not found an application with as much power and flexibility to use on a Windows 10 PC. So I agree - this is a real shame.

More of a professional solution than Things. More versatile & better support for the way I want to work.
Good OS integration & scripting ability.
OmniGroup make excellent apps!
