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.

Omen is in active development still. That is to say, major changes can happen at any time. If your guild can't update daily then it's probably best for those users to stick with KTM (omen WILL display their data long as they're running one of them).
