So are you suggesting I should stop using it every day in my job? :-) Anyway, this is not the right thread to start a discussion. I learnt several languagues to fluency - fast - without ever touching flashcards or SRS. However, I do recognise the benefits of SRS in case of Japanese with its very specific set of challenges and I have been actively using it for a few years. Now I'm at the stage where my environment is providing me enough exposure and enough chances to "produce", I find that I no longer need to "add cards" in order to remember new vocabulary, etc. It's just a personal milestone, not a new "superior" technique, that's why it's in this thread.

I think it's worth a debate . SRS is not a goal , just a mean ... a mean to what ? in our case fluency in japanese .
So whatever gets in the way should be removed .... including the SRS maybe ?
Khatzu wrote something about deleting stuff when it doesn't deliver the goods . As for me I was a bit reluctant to do so because it takes pain to put it in , and some more to "learn" it ... but consider how much time I lost on it for a very arguable benefit ? a little while ago I began to erase , pause and modify item and I felt a change . A good change .
But what I want to point out is the conflict between the SRS logic and the language logic: SRS can easily become an evil of its own . You're so engrossed in that you fail to see that it damage your actual skill . The "get as much card as you can" is only one of the traps hidden in the SRS.

Maybe past a point the very SRS is disposable.
