I don't really use calendaring all that much, but when I do, I use org-mode agenda in emacs, which seems to do all the stuff that he's complaining about not having. It does a lot more than I use.

That being said, I get that that's probably not what he's after if he's not an emacs user.

Oh hey, fellow org user!

I'm in the same boat. I don't do calendaring that much, but agenda is what I use when I'm time blocking tasks.

My main complaint is that I can't get it to sync to my Google calendar. I have tried org-gcal but the gpg encryption never works for me so I just gave up. I would have liked it to have easier viewing on mobile, but that's minor enough that I don't care. Orgzly with notifications on lets me know when its time to do something anyway.
