Somehow, I am comforted to know that my commercial transatlantic flight
captain with 15,000 hours and a copilot still uses a checklist before
landing, even though everything is normal procedure for him or her.

When I fly power (mostly the Skylane that I own a small piece of), I use
written checklists too and wouldn't consider otherwise as there are many
items that need attention. Glider cockpits are simpler and mnemonic
checklists work for me - YMMV.
