I tried very hard to push a switch to Omen on my guild, given the memory issues plaguing KTM and what I feel is a pretty impressive feature list. We made the switch and got using it, but my guildmembers eventually became frustrated by the fact that they needed to update it so often in order to maintain universal compatibility among our raiding group.
Personally, I update my mods with WAU several times a day, but I'm guess many of our players are not as interested or as techsavvy when it comes to mods (or computers in general). The people who only updated their mods maybe once a week or less never got what seems to be almost daily changes, many of them major, and due to the incompatibilities between versions these raiders wouldn't show up on our threatlists at all.
So the mod is wonderful and does everything I could ever ask of it, but I really underestimated the power of human laziness. KTM has one thing going for it as far as the average raider is concerned: version updates are far-between and therefore don't require the kind of daily updates Omen does in order to maintain compatibility between users.
My hope is that the more Omen nears "completion," the less of a problem this will become. In the meantime my guild has switched back to KTM. I'm still using Omen, since for me the updates are not frustrating and the two mods can communicate in a limited fashion.
Thanks for all your hard work on this.
