see my other comment regarding Perhaps...most people have 3 or less calendars and your just an outlier? As far as not telling what day it is, fair - thats one issue that if affects many, will likely be fixed. Definitely doesn't warrant an extreme "It's Goddamn Terrible" flame - that is unless your trying to get some HN attention.

>As far as not telling what day it is, [...] Definitely doesn't warrant an extreme "It's Goddamn Terrible" flame [...] // I think it's that this is indicative of poor testing or poor understanding of the needs of a calendar interface. Being able to quickly locate the current days listings and being focussed on the pertinent info and away from the chrome (like "look at me"-style search buttons) is key in the writers opinion (and mine) to having a good calendar. What's so terrible is that with all the money they must spend on usability experts (hopefully?) these glaring issues still make it through to the final product. I expect they did the 5s testing type UI analysis - "what day was selected" "what from the interface stood out" and would be amazed that such analysis wouldn't return answers like "didn't see the day names anywhere" and "giant blue button for something".
