Subjective Percentages?

[James Moore]

Right, we struggle trying to categorize Outliner. It seems like with 
just a few more features it could be a decent word processor, a 
bare-bones spreadsheet, and a simple desktop database. Maybe we should 
rename it to OmniWorks.

I already use it like a simple database for project management but I 
weep when when I can't filter based on a column value.

I want to use it to write documentation but I can't yet export to 
something more "doc"-like so I weep some more. I haven't yet conceived 
of a way to get to DocBook that doesn't rely on overly-contrived 
outline setups.

Admittedly I want to view Outliner as the hammer that can pound any 
nail no matter its shape or size.

Outliner 3 is going to be a step forward and is laying the groundwork 
for some pretty exciting features that will coming "soon".
