Hi !

If I understood well, I think that the difference between C-c . and C-c ! is that the timestamp is active or not.

<DATE>  is an active date that appear in agenda view. So you have ti use it if you want to see the task scheduled or deadlined.

[DATE] format does not allow the timestamp to interact with agenda view. It is used to indicate date just for information.
