The problem with Things and OmniFocus (for me anyways) is that there's no web based client or Windows client.

I bought OmniFocus a while back for my Mac/iPad/iPhone but I haven't really been able to use it as much as I'd like since I use Windows at work. Even a simple web based view would cause me to get a lot more use out of OmniFocus. If Things had web based access, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

I completely agree with you but in my case it's that I carry an Android phone. There was a third-party web tie-in, called Spootnik (http://www.spootnik.net/), to Omnifocus that gets mentioned on their support forums.

I've recently considered Nozbe which aligns with my interest in virtually all platforms. It's a monthly fee so there's that to take into consideration. Also, I've heard their mobile app offerings need some help.

Has anyone else found other alternatives?

+1 for Spootnik. I love the sparse design and RESTful API -- and the developer is very helpful with issues and feature requests. (I am just a customer; I don't know or have any other relationshop with the developer.)

You might want to check out Flow by MetaLab. They have a really native iPhone client and quite desktop-y web interface.
