Bartek has created a ton of features to allow your GTD system work the way you want it to. The unused features do not get in the way. Everyone has a different flavor of how they implement the GTD methodology and the flexible features of iGTD pretty much fit any GTD style. I too think that iGTD features are awesome.

Bartek is rather the name friends use. I think it's the same thing like with Michael and Mike. You can say Mike, but the official name is Michael.

If you want to do GTD "by the book" but on a computer interface, then iGTD lets you do it with minimum fuss and muss and almost zero learning curve (assuming you read the book). When an app gets more features than I need, they become "unused features". If these features intrude - i.e. confuse the user interface, they become "nuissance features". If these features slow down startup or operations, then I am unhappy. So far, some of the features are unused, none are nuisances. Some are actually helpful. I have not seen any problem with speed. The "archive" feature is one example. I seems directly analogous to a set of 4 A-Z file drawers behind my desk to drop things from my inbox that are "reference", not "actions" nor "trash".

It seems to me that many welcome iGTD because they are not GTD'ers literally by the book and love the flexibility it offers. OmniFocus looks very nice and to me kind of kGTD on steroids. I think the programs are heading in different directions and it will be hard to choose between them. I have been reading a lot about iGTD and GTD in general lately.

I haven't quite reached the breaking point with features yet, but if things keep expanding the way they are, I'm afraid I might. I've been tracking the OmniFocus news thus far and it looks like it will be a great app. Can't wait to review it ;). I’m looking forward to testing out OmniFocus.

I just got my invite to test Omnifocus, and so far, it's perfect for me, alpha and all. I'm really looking forward to using it a bit more, and really getting to know all of it's capabilities, but like I said, so far, it's exactly what I've wanted in GTD app. Personally, somewhere along the line, iGTD got too many features for me.

About iGTD, forgot to look there. It is the only place I have seen the name like this. Yes, and I agree about iGTD: Excellent. A Pro/Commercial version is in the pipes too. Ok, you are right.

Yes, and I agree about iGTD: Excellent. A Pro/Commercial version is in the pipes too.
