Didn't really embrace it and then looked at virtually every alternative out there, including most of what's been mentioned on this thread. Was somewhat daunted by what I perceived was the complexity and the learning curve of it. I started using OmniFocus when it was first released. Having said all that, I'm trying to work on my GTD flow using paper right now, but in the long run may go with GTasks (advantages: free can be embedded in GCal if tasks are given a due date and also can show in GCal's sidebar has the canvas view syncs with a nice third-party, inexpensive iPhone app called GeeTasks may someday be updated by Google) or perhaps go with Omnifocus (which offers more features/power, flagging, good iPhone and iPad apps, and is testing cloud synching). Also, using X's and asterisks can help flag items or mark them as done. This setup requires more manual processing than some web apps, but it's free and keyboard shortcuts (like shift-return to access the notes part of a task, and tabbing) can help speed the process. I set up GTasks according to the GTD Outlook guidelines from davidco, then bookmarked/docked the following link for an expanded, full-screen view of GTasks (including menu bar): Regarding Google Tasks, I've found that it can work OK with GTD. RTM has a nice iPhone app, although the free version is limited. I tried RTM and found it clunky to use with GTD, although there is an extension for Firefox (and maybe Chrome) that provides an improved interface (called something like A Better RTM). but if Appigo releases a desktop (Mac) version of their app, then they might just keep me for good. if Things comes out with OTA syncing, I'll likely move back to it, since I've already purchased the Mac and iPhone versions. Highly recommend looking into it if you haven't checked it out. I'd love a Mac desktop version so I don't have to use my browser.
They say they are developing desktop versions (Mac and Windows) so that will be slick too.
I love the quick and simple iphone app too. Supports the GTD work flow just fine, allows both Contexts and Tags for greater flexibility, and has a nice user interface. So I checked out Appigo ToDo again and lo' and behold - they have a new ToDo Online web-based version!! This allows me to sync my iPhone ToDo app, my iPad ToDo app, with the Web-Based ToDo Online, in realtime!! I'm always in sync and it works great. I was filling out too many unneccessary fields just so my "perspectives" would display the right information. Seemed (to me) to also require more work than needed for the way I implement GTD. But for some reason, it just never "excited" me from a user interface or look and feel standpoint. Spent a butt load of money on their apps and used it for quite a while. But it had some short comings in the past, requiring to sync with either Remember the Milk or Toodledo. I then tried Appigo ToDo for a while and liked it.
It's a pain to try to keep 3 devices (Mac, iPhone, iPad) in-sync when you have to do it on a local network with all three apps open. But was missing some key features at the time and is STILL missing over-the-air sync. I've tried a lot of different GTD / To Do apps and have landed on Appigo's ToDo app for now.
