Now, I don't think that Emacs' calendar will ever be the "dominant" calendaring app anywhere except within Emacs. But I don't know why you think that app will more dominant than any other number of existing apps (personally, I doubt it), and I didn't know why switching to something just because it may be the most dominant app is a good idea. More specific reasons could be quite useful here in giving ideas to people who want to improve the Emacs calendar, but just that mass throngs seem to be going to another app gets us nowhere. -- Alan Shutko - In a variety of flavors!
