This is the one thing that's making the transition to OF hard.

I really need a due day, rather than time.

In the preferences you can set the default due time. I think it's under Data. I set mine to 5pm because that's the end of the work day, but really it doesn't matter, I don't take any notice of the time.
There isn't view where the time shows up, eg the "Due" perspective only shows the date, not the time. Why is this causing you problems?

No. Search the forums. There is HEAPS of discussion about this.

Actually David Allen says Today lists are not the way to do it. A today list is a form of prioritisation which is considered harmful. But as I said there is heaps of discussion about this elsewhere.
