A minor quibble: the tasks that have to be done by a certain date (pay bills, do holiday shopping) are well-suited for OmniFocus. Tasks that need to be done on a certain date (meet with lawyer, give lecture) are the ones typically referred to as the "hard landscape" and are thought by many to be more appropriately tracked on a calendar. I tend to use a hybrid approach as many of those tasks that happen at a fixed time ("meet with accountant to do year-end tax planning") probably are going to have a substantial preparation component ("collect latest brokerage statements and pay stub").
