Oh, Omniweb, how I love you so. Now, update, goddamnit.

I love Omniweb. Love it, love it. There’s just one tiny thing wrong: it hasn’t been updated in, like, forever.

I know I’m supposed to love Firefox, but I really, really don’t: There is something about its extreme not-native-ness that bugs me, and for some people, native look-and-feel trumps nerd/poweruser stuff. (I use Firefox, of course, for web dev, since it’s basically an IDE.)

It has a version of WebKit somewhere ahead of shipping Safari but sadly way, way behind the awesomeness that is the more recent builds. So it sucks less than Safari but only mostly works with Gmail, Google Maps, and many AJAX-y sites (although it has built-in browser spoofing which usually mostly works).

Omnigroup has been cranking out the OmniPlan releases lately; the home page news box is entirely OmniPlan.

One can only hope the Omniweb silence is a result of feverish code-monkey pounding on the final Omniweb touches needed for a release ….
