I'm a business owner, so I tried folders like this:

Personal
Business
Clients
--Client1
--Client2
--. . .

My kGTD method was to make actions called "Client1: update spam filters", "Client2: update spam filters", and so on, which was redundant and annoying; this is vastly, vastly better for me. I think of folders as project prefixes-- if I'm buying a mouse, a folder tells me who I'm buying it for and thus has intrinsic value to my workflow.

OF's folders are a GTD miracle that are a huge boon to my ability to organize. I absolutely love how folders work within OF; they truly provide the user with the ability to "Focus," and provide useful and consistent information in the Context's Outline view (when the proper option is selected in preferences).

Sadly, folders are worse than useless when it gets to iCal right now, because a project name can be completely ambiguous when relying on folders to provide structure, but I trust in the Omni to make these things universally useful soon.
