The fresh news from Omea developer - maybe of interest (I quote):
--------------------------------------
Dear Friends,
After collecting your opinions and having long internal discussions, we have finally decided to move Omea Pro into the open source domain.
This will definitely take some time, but the first step has already been made - from now on, Omea Pro is available free of charge.
Thank you for your input, and you are welcome to contribute to Omea Pro development when it goes open-source.
-- The Omea Team at JetBrains
-----------------------------------------
I use it for some projects that include news, mails, feeds and files as a reader and tagging tool. Quite helpful in some respects.

If Omea Pro is open source and now free of charge, how does the company make any money?
And what about all the people who paid for the product say, just prior to this change.
If I had bought Omea Pro, I would be ticked by this news.

By continuing to write software for developers, the way they do now.
It's quite possible that the product wasn't making much money in the first place, given how crowded the organizer market is.
