Pros
Pro Defer date
Omnifocus allows users to setup the "defer date" which can be treated as "start date". Tasks will not be marked as available until that date, which should help to focus on the "available" task only.
Pro Forecast summary
The forecast summary shows a quick digest of the tasks you have for the day. You can select any day to quickly see what tasks you have planned that day. For extra functionality you can connect with the iPhone’s Calender app, which allows you to also see any other events you have planned that day.
Pro See an overview of all tasks via "Perspective"
The Perspective section allows you to see an overview of the tasks you have set. It also allows you to set contexts or see things you have flagged.
Pro Nearby and context-sensitive tasks
OmniFocus 2 allows you to set up contexts for tasks in certain areas. This makes sure you never miss a task when you're out running errands and happen to be near something you need to do.
Pro Clean, simple layout
The apps borrows some design elements from Material Design-type design, which uses a slide-out menu. Everything is laid out in an easy-to-find manner.

Cons
Con Mac and iOS only
Omnifocus doesn’t work on non-Apple platforms.
Con Support non existing
Con iOS version no longer being updated
iPad upgrades stopped at iOS version 11, so if you want to keep Doit.im it is not possible to upgrade to iOS12. As there is no export facility, you are stuck.
Con Rarely updated
Con Offline sometimes
Con Nonexport and support desk say they will never include it (your data is theirs now)
Con Subscription based
While not expensive, it does cost money to get it for Mac or Windows (although you can view it in the browser for free). The subscription also adds automatic cloud sync, sync with Google calendar, adding tasks via email, manual sort, attaching Evernote into tasks, and more.
The subscription costs $2/month, or $20/year which is very reasonable
Con Sometimes it doesn't see your active subscription
Con Rip off
Con Not very customizable
There is no way for you to create your own "perspective".
