It's not just viewing the source code of the current window, it allows you to edit it, live. This is actually a neat trick, and it's helped me once or twice when I want to debug or modify web apps on the fly, while testing them. But more often than not, I'd prefer to view source in BBEdit, of course. My other similar gripe is that OmniWeb doesn't support external XML feed aggregators. When you click on an RSS URL in OmniWeb, it assumes you want to "subscribe" to the feed in OmniWeb's bookmarks window, and there's no way to specify that you use an app like NetNewsWire or PulpFiction. Annoying. My guess regarding the lack of support for external View Source apps is that they're extra proud of their built-in source editor.
