Excuse me: here is my point: at least with some pictures, the orientation has to be exactly right, and it is very surprising how small a difference the eye picks up on.
Tony,
Glad you found the tool allows you to rotate in fractions of a degree, i suffered the same angst until I found this out. It is surprising how small an angle makes a difference. I often tweak things by 0.5 degree and am shocked by how far this is.

As for using the assorted tools and grids, there are times when aligning the "horizon" to a perfect reference doesn't look right to my eyes. A lot depends on the overall perspective of the scene. That's my excuse for some of my sloppier shots anyway, and I'm sticking to it.
