OmniFocus could, of course, be shoe-horned into other systems, just as you could use a car for a house, but don't be surprised if you're not pleased with the results, if you're not familiar with how GTD works.

So you're basically saying that because I haven't read the book, I can't use OF effectively? Seems like a fairly gross generalisation. OF is a very powerful program, and custom perspectives/views mean I can organise myself very effectively, regardless of your assumption.

Not at all. I said that "to use OF effectively, you must at least know the basics of GTD."

The easiest way to learn the basics is to read the book, but there are other ways.
