Full ACK. I'm managing my GTD with orgmode for about 2 years now and I'm absolutely satisfied with it.
The biggest advantage of orgmode is the fact, that all is just plain text, so I can manage tasks just with the keyboard instead of point&click into dialog boxes. This speeds up the process a lot.
Speed is important for your task management tool. In the firm we're forced to also use SharePoint-based task lists and here you really see the difference between just editing a text file in your PCs RAM or suffering from a lousy responding server that makes editing a task a long job.
Ok, the big differenc is that orgmode is not a "groupware" tool, its for self management and for that its perfectly suited.

Getting things done in Emacs Posted Jan 21, 2010 8:57 UTC (Thu) by tnoo (subscriber, #20427) [Link]
The obvious alternative to org-mode is planner-mode for Emacs. The great
advantage of both tools is the close integration with the rest of the Emacs working environment (it is so much more than a great text and programming editor): mail client (vm, wanderlust, gnus, notmuch,...), the contact database (bbdb), and all the other great tools like doc-view, anything, w3m etc. With these Emacs tools at hand, everything is nicely cross linked or searchable (via moccur, tags or the trackerd - anything bindings).
Best of all: you need one set of keybindings, and never the mouse.
