I actually don't use custom agenda views at all!

I try to treat my setup more like text files I'm editing in Emacs, rather than me specifically using Org Mode.

I like the extra niceties I get with Org Mode in Emacs, like marking things as done, making checkboxes, etc. I never venture farther than that.

The most complicated thing I do in Org Mode would be making tables and recurring tasks - and I only do recurring tasks because BeOrg makes it very easy to set that up.
