I agree with many of the points raised here. Specifically, I think one of the troubles with perspectives is that it's not always so clear which one you're in. It takes some snooping around, especially if you have the tool/view bars hidden (funny, just as I was typing this I went to my review perspective, didn't see any change in my OF window, selected it again from the menu, and realized I was already in it!).

Smart groups, other differences aside, don't have this issue.

Now, for people who think this is trifling, consider one of the fundamental facets of GTD. You define specific next actions so you don't have to to the microscopic amount of thinking it takes to decipher "garbage" into the more tangible "take garbage out".

If OF is truly GTD, I suppose it follows that these little tiny things are taken very seriously.
