One gripe: 3.1.1 came out, and it destroyed the look of Monaco at 9pt and 10pt. It would probably work smoother if there was something in the preferences that allowed the user to set a custom $PATH. There should be a box or something in the app's preferences that allow you to change the load order of geeklets, and shows you a list of them by name (not UIDs). So to shuffle their order in the plist, you have to write down which UID goes with which geeklet.
If you try to fix this, you can, but you run into the fact that GeekTool keeps track of its geeklets by means of hexadecimal UIDs instead of the names that you already gave your geeklets when you created them. This can ruin a carefully-crafted desktop. For instance, it often reshuffles the order of which geeklets get loaded first. It could use improvement in certain areas. But if you are a Geek, it couldn't really much get easier to use. And most other things don't make a lot of sense then.
