> I still keep floss handy for getting truly wedged stuff out (it can provide much more force), but it's worthless for me otherwise.

One thing I wish I learned earlier on in life - flossing isn't to pull out chunks of food from in between the teeth (although it can do this too) - if you're flossing correctly you're breaking up biofilms formed by bacteria at the gumline.
