My headings are not bold, because it's too heavy for the eyes when several headings without content follow each other. Too much boldness. :) The color and the asterisk sometimes melt into the surroundings when there is lots of text before it. Not distinctive enough. The problem is I don't want to make headers too distinctive, because when I use lots of empty headers below each other then I don't want them to glow in my face. On the other hand, when headings have text content then it should be separated clearly from the surrounding headings. Clearly, others have similar problems with it judging from the lots of possible values of org-cycle-separator-lines. But it's subjective, of course.
