I'm following advice of the guy who designed harnesses for years at BD.
"The belay loop is designed for rappelling and belaying only. Use it if you find it convenient."
"Belay loops were invented ... to solve the problem of having no obvious place to clip into a harness for belaying and rappelling. The idea caught on because many people found it convenient."

Personally, I'm pretty sure the loop is so universally recommended by manufacturers as to prevent all the newbies out there from anchoring to the the harness tie in poiints or the loop and not the biner, thus prevent accident from shearing forces on the harness.
