I am right now on Apple Reminders, which has its advantages, but I've also used OmniFocus a lot, as well as org-mode. And I switch between them from time to time.

Org-mode could be perfect, but sync and mobile apps are PITA. Reminders are good, but limited. However, they are well integrated with calendar. OmniFocus is somehow in between, has own scripting engine, complex, limited at some places, but will surely get it done.

As much as I am with the idea of writing, bringing the pen and notebook with you me all the time get old pretty soon. And, such are the details of modern life, a lot of information arrives per mail or links. Also, no meaningful context can be saved with task. What would happen is that I would have to maintain 2 system - short written tasks and digital information storage for them, and somehow link between them.

But why I commented here: indeed, in the end the system itself does not matter that much. The regular review, in GTD terms, does. Cleaning up junk tasks, plan the day, process the inbox - it can be done with anything.
