I used a 24 as a standard lens for three years... I dunno what to say,
really, except that I found 'composing from the edge' to be a key. In other
words, arrange the key parts of the world around the edges of the frame and
let the centre take care of itself. This way you avoid the distancing
aspect, and get nicely complicated picures.
Some examples of what I'm talking about at:

Now if only shooting with a 20 were so simple...
