It's interesting, it seems like most people don't use one based on this thread.
For me the wall isn't the point, I just like the idea of not using a laptop. I already spend a lot of time on the computer.
My point was, that I do use all the quick reference hints that you would find on the back of a GM screen, I just lay them out flat before me or have them in my analog binder where I keep my notes. That's a small binder where I can insert sheets that I need for a session and can reference older notes. The downside is that, if you play with minis etc, you would need an extra area to prepare and hide them for a surprise effect..
