To maintain lists of todos, tracking their states, clocking them etc., I'm using org-mode. It's incredibly powerful once you get the hang of it.

On behalf of my fellow Vimmers, I hereby declare a blood feud against you.

<serious> Isn't there a good desktop tool or a web-based tool that does the same thing?</serious>

The battle lines are drawn!

Google also turns up Vim OrgMode. I've got no idea how good it is (in absolute terms, or relative to VimOrganizer).

(And as an Emacs-er, I wouldn't dare to venture any deeper into enemy territory to investigate :P )

Org-mode made me switch from Vim to Emacs. It's very hard to compete against, since using the same large set to interface idioms for everything is a pretty big win, and any dedicated solution to just one aspect will probably fail to provide all of a spreadsheet, embedded LaTeX, time tracking and a programmable TODO list all usable without any context switching.

There's VimOrganizer, which aspires to be org-mode-for-vim. Judging from the video, it seems like a nice tool.

There are many todo-list/organizers online (Remember The Milk is a nice one), but I don't think there is any tool that does what org-mode does.
