I wouldn't say I "missed" it, really. Since using org-mode depends on knowing/using Emacs in the first place, I didn't really think something like that would be suitable for a bulk of users.
Except that org-mode appears to have a far larger user base than any of the other programs you reviewed, with the possible exception of KOrganizer. In an informal Google Trends search, it actually scores higher than KOrganizer (Tasque and Getting Things Gnome don't have enough volume to even show up on the graph).

of course, the first thing to do to install org-mode is to actually install emacs-snapshot rather than emacs, as most distros aren't shipping a gtk and nicely fontified version of emacs...

Under ubuntu, that's

apt-get remove emacs
apt-get install emacs-snapshot
apt-get install org-mode emacs-goodies-el
