I think there are many different ways to solve this. In general, I think it is better to have fewer but more powerful features than to have many features that are weak or incomplete.
I agree that it is useful to be able to prepare for the next day already the day or evening before. But I am not at all sure that the best way is to have a separate "daily plan" feature. I think the same thing can be accomplished in a more flexible and powerful way by simply improving some of the standard features:
1) When doing the "daily plan" what we actually want to see on a single screen is the "starred" items (the ones that have been marked "Today") AND all the remaining Next actions. This would be perfectly possible even without a special "daily plan" feature, using the regular Next list, if only the "starring" feature was changed to the way it is more commonly implemented (in e.g. Gmail, GDrive, Nirvana, Zendone ... virtually all software), where a "focus marker", such as a star etc, is visible in the original list (e.g. Next list) AND ALSO causes the item to ALSO be visible on the starred list (the Today list) without being physically moved away from its original list. This would enable us to star whatever we want whenever we want, for example the night before. And it would also enable us to star and un-star things from any other list if we want it conveniently available during the day, for example star a Waiting For action that we expect to have delivered to us today.
2) Many people like to predict the duration (time) a task is expected to take. I can see no reason to have this limited to a special "daily plan" feature. Instead, this could be a standard piece of data that can be entered for any task at any stage, and could be summed up in many ways, for example, total time for starred items, total time for all tasks in a project etc etc. I am sure many people would find that useful.
3) Repeating tasks are currently cloned the day before. It would be easy enough to move these manually from "scheduled for tomorrow" to ether "scheduled for today" or to "starred Next" already the day before if we want to prepare for tomorrow.
The above set of changes would enable users to prepare a daily plan for tomorrow in the exact same detail as they can today, but without having to have a special feature for it that must be entered into as a separate step, and there would be no need for different versions of it (a today plan and a tomorrow plan), and we would not be so limited in how the features can be used. With the above features, every time I look at the Next list I would have the equivalent of a "daily plan" automatically without pressing a single button. And I could use these features for other useful things, too, e.g. estimate the length of a project, or star Waiting tasks for my convenient attention etc etc. -

I'd definitely would like to use the app with a 'plan for tomorrow' option. Planning for tomorrow seems more natural to me as depending on what things you need to do you may need to plan to get up early (or sleep in) which requires planning the night before not after waking. Although for those who plan for the day in the morning that should doable also.

I often plan a bit for the next day already in the evening before. I then use the Today list. I never use the "Daily Plan" feature as it does not do what I want.
What I would want to see is - project by project or goal by goal or context by context etc - my Today and Next tasks mixed under each such group heading, such that I can see which have been starred for Today and which ones have not. This could be easily accomplished within the Next list itself (or if the Daily Plan could mix these tasks under the group headings rather than show all the starred ones at the top). The same goes for "planning" Waiting for tomorrow (what I expect to get from others tomorrow)

The ability to 'start daily plan' for tomorrow for me is the one of the most important features. This is why I am going to live Doit.im, unfortunately.
