The Dink Network

As you said, nested view doesn't have a lot going for it other than being able to see who's replying who. If everyone made this clear regardless, there wouldn't be much point in using it... I've switched to flat view several times, but ultimately just find not knowing who the hell people are talking to far more annoying than what's it worth.

I also take a fair degree of pleasure in laughing at flat users who get all pissy for posts not directed at them.
