I don't like iCal at all. It's too clumsy in almost every respect. The Lion update looks like a step in the wrong direction, too. The only promising feature is the natural language parsing, which IMO is an essential feature of a calendar. I'm not sure how I feel about Fantastical, since I've only had it installed for 5 minutes. I've tried other iCal replacements like BusyCal, but they didn't seem like enough of an improvement. There's definitely a space for simple NLP calendar input on the desktop, though.
