Jason - nice review. A couple of comments on the Windows discussion. The NetCentrics GTD add-in has been significantly enhanced in the last 18 months and has resolved many of the performance and stability issues you describe. ClearContext, which is a fine piece of software, currently does not support IMAP mail while the GTD add-in does. So, for your readers who want to add an Inbox Manager to their Outlook environments that work in an IMAP environment, the officially sanctioned add-in is well worth a look.
Also, it's important to note that David Allen is very neutral about tools and does not advocate any particular tool or platform. At my last job, where there were a large number of GTD practitioners, one of the people I worked closely with used nothing more than a legal notepad to manage his actions lists. The Hipster PDA and Moleskine journals are also popular with the paper-oriented GTD crowd.
As Bud points out in a roundabout fashion in his comment, it's all too easy to get so wrapped up in tweaking the tools that you lose focus on actually accomplishing anything. I've swung like pendulum on this over the years and have happily landed on the "stop screwing around and get some work done" side of things myself.
