While it may seem like there is a mind-boggling array of ways to change the view around, the ability to change the view in so many ways is one of the most important reasons that OmniFocus has the power that it does. An endless stream of "did you really mean to change your view settings?" dialog boxes would quickly erode the willingness to use the program for most users.
