In my own investing research, I've used O'S methods more than anything else. Maybe its the engineer in me but the data analysis that he's done struck a chord with me. Over the last few years, I've put together many O'S type paper portfolios that have performed very well. Of course, then I do exactly what O'S says not to do which is cherry pick from the screens.

That's why my pet peeve is value investors who won't buy a stock at $10 if it used to be $5. A stock drops from 20 to 5 then rebounds to 20 and meets 'value' criteria at 10. If you can call the bottom, that's great. If you can't, you'll get a better return buying at 10 on the way up than at 10 on the way down. As I said, I haven't really developed the investing discipline to implement O'S as analyzed in his books but I'm working on it.
