Things, the GTD app of choice for many nerds has hit version 2.0. From the Cultured Code blog:
Today is a big day in Things’ history. It sees major updates for all our clients, as well as the long awaited Things Cloud release. Many of you have been looking forward to this, and I want to thank you for your patience. We have been working hard on these updates and we are truly excited to be releasing them today.
The cloud sync is really fast, but other than that, Things 2.0 is still basically the same app that version 1 was. And, after some time and dozens of projects, I felt that Things didn’t scale nearly as well as OmniFocus does. All in all, Things 2 seems pretty sweet, if you work the way Things wants you to. If not, there’s not much of a reason to switch back.
As a sidennote, with this announcement, many have been criticizing the company about the length of time since it announced Cloud Sync and actually shipped it. Here’s Shawn Blanc:
Only the team at Cultured Code knows why it took several years to ship their Cloud Sync and updates to their apps. Did they really need all that time to build their syncing engine? I don’t know; and without all the facts I refuse to criticize them for it.
