Here is my issue with Things Sync:

Ever since they released their iPhone app customers have been asking them for sync. This being a productivity app sync is very important. Things for the longest time has had WiFi sync. It is a pain for two reasons:

1. I have to remember to sync my devices every time I make changes. This is not rest of my productivity apps work. My calendars sync automagically, my email inbox sync automagically, my filesystem syncs automagically, BUT my _productivity_ app does not!

2. Wireless syncing doesn't always work because in some environments they block the underlying protocol. Then I have to setup an AdHoc network etc. etc.

Failure on CC's part, IMO, is the lack of understanding, perhaps, of how important sync is to their customers. A good approach would have been to incrementally introduce support for sync, using Dropbox or MobileMe or what not. Instead what it looks like happening is they are building a whole new infrastructure that we will have to use to sync Things. My problem is that I already pay for two good sync solutions that work well. I don't see the point in paying for another one just for syncing.
