I know that Tor mentioned that he does a lot of multitasking/context switching and because of that Mylyn didn't work for him. However, you can turn off context management, but you lose a lot of value when you do that, since it makes commits easier, and makes it easier to resume a task when you do have to context switch. I have friends that do a lot of context switching (and have had Tor's complaint as well), but to me it seems like a lot of mental thrashing about. I'd rather work on one thing, if new ideas occur while I'm working, I just jot down a local Mylyn task and carry on with what I'm doing. I also use Mylyn's local tasks to keep track of TODOs that don't make it into a JIRA issue or are too nascent to be a JIRA issue.
There's a Gmail and an Exchange connector for Mylyn as well, which makes it easy to create issues from email conversations. I think that most people use Mylyn just for code, but you can also add web pages and notes to the Mylyn task. This makes it easy to bookmark web pages with code snippets and add them to your task.
