I definitely can feel your frustration. I have had a hard time setting up MLO also to make it work they way I want. I am not using any particular system myself so I do not have any examples to help you out to setup GTD. Searching around though there are plenty of examples of how people setup their MLO for GTD such as this person.
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mylifeorganized/MhRdFXV5WTA One thing to remember is that MLO is extremely flexible and you have to make it work for you. You have to take the time to set it up and tweak it to your liking. But once you do it is invaluable.And yes the developers I think would do themselves a great favor by having tutorials for some the popular organizing methods to draw in more customers and keep them around.
