Thanks for the mention, Wilson :-)

I think Ulmisch makes a strong point about OmniFocus. Adapting OF to you is the key.

The main reasons I see for the difficulties with OF is in this aspect. It doesn't really handhold you, but instead asks you to learn how it processes information. The better you learn that, the better you can adapt it to how you think.

It's complexity evolves from its handling of simple things: serial vs parallel, repeat, timing, etc. These are all very basic aspects of tasks, but taken together and at once, they can seem overwhelming.

The key is to play with it. Once you find a flow that works, the rest is gravy (to mix several metaphors).
