I use org-mode extensively. It integrates so well into the Emacs experience. There's just nothing like it.
When I start working on a project, I use todo lists with notes, links, and tags to manage my tasks. I use org outlines to structure my work flow and organize my thoughts. I use the remember front-end to quickly capture notes on the fly. When I finish a task I just flick out the key stroke to clock out. Afterwards I can check a nicely formatted table to view my hours, paste it into an email within emacs and use org mode to reformat it into an HTML/multipart email with a properly formatted HTML table that I can send to my co-workers or clients to review.
For intense bits of code I use the literate programming features of org-babel.
Also, it has great export features. It can tangle, organize, and mine your org files for the information you want and export to a number of different formats. It's quite amazing.
I'd go as far to say that org-mode is practically a killer feature of emacs and one really good reason for switching to emacs if you don't use it already.
I was about 10 years give or take myself. I blogged the transition on my site. Glad I made the decision to give emacs a serious try. Didn't know what I was missing until I did.

But I might be biased... :)
