I think that for the Mac, TAO has to be up there too - a veritable bouillabaisse of geekiness (to adapt James Fallows)!

I’d say geekiest is still using Lotus Agenda in 2009.

UltraRecall - it was labelled as geeky by several members of this forum if I remember correctly.
You can customize almost everything, all shortcuts, toolbars, several layouts, customized Item Names based on attribute values, colums, templates, forms, customized saved searches ...

Given these criteria, I’d say of the ones I’ve tried that Organizer Mode is the winner hands down. Like most programs written to run within Emacs, virtually everything is customizable, particularly if you are willing to delve into the realm of configuration files. And, of course, you can extend it with your own Lisp code to do virtually anything you want. Very, very highly geeky.

I’ll raise you a step further to go with using Bash scripts to manipulate plain text files
