People with simple PM needs will probably enjoy OmniPlan, but for the same price there are better, more robust alternatives out there. For now, FastTrack Schedule and Merlin are clearly a better choice, and Merlin costs the same as OmniPlan 2. In terms of features and value I can't rate this higher that 2 stars.
No problems with ease of use or stability. I tried the "Scale to Fit Project" option only to discover there's no Undo for this. Merlin offers an additional view (Net Plan). Merlin had a much cleaner view of the project, and this applies to Tasks or Activities, Resources, and Calendar. It did open the MPP file of the same project, and that was a bit quicker than Merlin.
Merlin opened the file in about 2 seconds. Version 2.0.3 was unable to open a MS Project MPX file, both using File>Open and dragging the file to OmniPlan. "Also new and notable! We’re getting started on multi-project support." Fortunately, the Omni people addresed this issue in a recent () blog post: If asking a simple question resulted in frowny faces, no doubt my review will be unpopular among the fanboyz.
