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 Fast, easy to use interface

Pro Very focused, allowing it to be the best at one thing
Instead of trying to be a both a calendar and to-do app, it focuses much more on the to-do aspect. There is a calendar view, however your tasks aren't organized by time - just by order. You can reorder the day's events, and if you don't get them done they will automatically roll over into the next day, so you can be sure that you aren't ever missing anything.
Cons
Con Mac and iOS only
Omnifocus doesn’t work on non-Apple platforms.
Con Subscription based will cost money each month
Instead of a single time purchase, Teuxdeux costs $3 each month, or $24 for a full year. There is a free 30 day trial, so at least you can try before put any money forwards, but a one time fee - even if it's $10 - is cheaper in the long run than a few dollars each month.
