[Poll] Do you use a task killer? Don't be shy.

As you can see in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812747 it seems like the use of task killers is a touchy subject for many people, and something they really try to convince others that they are right about doing or not doing. I was simply testifying that I found a benefit from using it, contrary to the many people who don't because of all the advisories out there not to or because they simply find no benefit. In response, many people admitted they were also using one, only to be flamed by other members who think that it is completely unnecessary and defeats the purpose of android in some aspects.

So without having to justify your own reason for using or not using a task manager or task killer, I'm simply curious to know how many people do use one and how many don't because from that previous thread there seems to be a good number of people on both sides of the argument. Thanks for participating.

I had been since I got the phone. But I removed the atk from the market today. Thought I would try going without it for a while and see how it goes.

Since I got an N1, I never needed to use a task killer. I say today's phones are more than good enough to handle multi-tasking easily. Also, using task killers on Android = bad news bears.
