Fallows is more capable than I would have previously believed in talking complete nonsense about software. Perhaps it comes with being a journalist, but he is far from immune to hype. I was looking at some older articles he wrote, where he said that OmniOutliner for OS X combined the best features of BrainStorm, NoteMap, Echo, and GrandView. Yeah, right. Omin isn’t _that_ feature rich; and no one, including James, mentions that OS X is painfully slow and not terribly stable, traits which considerably diminishing any application it runs.
