OmniOutliner seems to me to be geared toward presenting nice-looking outlines, rather than to creating working documents.
Do TaskPaper documents still open okay in Taskmator or Task on Paper in iOS? If so, there’s another option.

As a programmer and running a very small software company (2 persons) for a while, i can tell you that 4 month is no time at all. You should start worrying if development stopped for a year, and even then it can be a huge refactoring behind the scenes to implement new features.

One other option is Cloud Outliner Pro. I hadn’t used this in awhile, but just reinstalled on my MacBook and iPad. I set it up to sync via iCloud (there’s also a proprietary server sync and an Evernote sync), and it worked okay. Development isn’t rapid, but there was a recent update to the iPad version.

One more note. I love Dynalist, but I’ve found a bug in the iOS version that makes it unusable on my iPad. I used it once with a blue tooth keyboard and now it behaves as if my keyboard is always linked to my iPad. So it doesn’t pop up the onscreen keyboard when I try to edit something. Fortunately I can access Dynalist through Safari on the IPad, and that works just fine.

My overall view too, although, in an effort to curb my Crimping, I continue to use it frequently.
