      CherryTree vs OmniOutliner opinions
      This alternative is disputed. CherryTree is still a legitimate alternative to OmniOutliner, but it might have issues that some users think are important.
      The thing I love about OmniOutliner is the fact that each row of data in the hierarchy can have multiple columns, which is very convenient UI for structured data. CherryTree doesn't support this.

      Dynalist vs OmniOutliner opinions
      Almost everyone thinks Dynalist is a great alternative to OmniOutliner.
      It's really intuitive to use and generates beautiful lists. I just needed collapsible lists, but now there's a lot more I can do with lists.
