I concur, ticklers in dGSD were very useful. Especially as they were implemented with the +d +w +y buttons next to them to easily reschedule them into the future after you took care of one that was recurring.
Some food for thought: In http://gsd5.tiddlyspot.com/ ticklers are something you add onto an action instead of a standalone entity. I'm not sure if I like this or not just something to ponder in terms of design since you haven't fully implemented them.
