Heh, and I thought lots of start dates, due dates, and rescheduling was too much fiddling for me. :)
The nice thing about flags is that they only require a single click. And as long as you have a "Flagged Items" perspective, it's easy to get an arbitrary listing of your most important actions. To drop something off the list, it's just a single click again.
Really, this difference in our approaches demonstrates one of the strengths of OmniFocus: there are often several ways to go about achieving a goal. Everybody's going to have their own preference, and it's a testament to the power and flexibility of the software if it can satisfy a variety of work flows.
Of course, that flexibility and power does come at the cost of some increased complexity. It sometimes makes it harder for someone new to the application to find the method that works best for them.
