I'll be blunt -
In the test flying world we have a saying, "Change is the Mother Of all Mishaps"
Checklists are a hedge against unintentional change.
Purposefully not using a checklist = complacency
Complacency is a leading causal factor in judgement related mishaps.
We all learned during our first flight lessons to use the checklist, the FAA examiners expect them, airlines, military and other commercial aviation enterprises require them...
Seriously, is it really such a burdon?
You are fooling yourself in thinking its ok to not use them. Its not smart. You will forget something without them and it may be the the last hole in the swiss cheese of events aligning such that the next mishap is your own.
