I haven't made friends with org-mode, but I've grown to like Taskwarrior for desktop, and recently started to use Mirakel for mobile. Mirakel has a decent UI and also syncs with your CalDAV data source.
Yes! Finally something usable (ui wise). I can't use it though until I can sync using Google sync...
Would love Google cal sync too, I use that heavily in the other mobile org android app.
