I use it and find it very useful, with only only minor quibbles.

quibble (1) As far as I know, its not possible to display diary
            entries in a grid format. If this is in fact possible, it
            would make diary/calendar even more wonderful.

quibble (2) This involve the i-d command,and I think I will start a
            separate thread for this one
