I started out using a...

I started out using a wiki for GTD, but moved on to using planner.el in combination with emacs-wiki as described by genehack a few posts up.

A wiki is nice, because you can make your information easily accessible from anywhere. There are some features that a wiki (at least the ones I have investigated) lack, e.g. no link between project pages and the main task page (supplied automatically by planner.el), and no possibility to tick off items with one click (you need to delete a row).
