Author here. "Organized" isn't exactly the word I would use to describe my notes either, but I guess it's all relative!
I started using gitit since I had already kept my notes in a bunch of git-versioned text files (formatted in Markdown/Pandoc), so it was a convenient way for me to publish them for others to consume. It features feeds, TeX math, various output format generators, etc. I actually don't leverage much of the other wiki functionality (cross-ref linking, multiple users).
Markdown's a great format for most of the notes I keep (text, outlined text, quoted text, code snippets, links, etc.), but I have yet to find a system that beats LyX for writing TeX math. And of course both are useless if you want to just draw/scribble a diagram (Xournal covers that) or clip images you find (I use EverNote). Such is the scattered state of note-taking as I know it.
