*Pros*: Looks nicer, layout makes better use of space *Cons*: Feels clunkier somehow, a bit slower - the transitions are a bit toooooo long. But maybe I just need to get used to that.

If it’s risky to use I’ll wait until it isn’t. I’ve planned out the next 6 months day-by-day in GC so wouldn’t like to lose anything :)

It's so beautiful now :_)

For me the hugest update is being able to control browser notification.

Pros:

Much cleaner UI.

Cons:

None yet. Haven't used it long enough.

I am not a fan of gmail or google calendar. Outlook is so much better; however, my company decided to go with gmail, etc.

Pros:

it's attached to gmail

Cons:

Outlook calendar is so much better

It still takes 24 hours to update synced calendars. How about real time updates?

With the updated makeover, iCal is now a cousin; that is, the facelift is reminiscent of iCal's UI. That's not a bad thing! G-Cal was long overdue a makeover and it's a welcome update; hugely welcome. The Wow factor is there and, functionally, it's still one of the few, easiest, mindless, & cross-integrated productivity tools in its space. It just works!

*I've been using it longer than 1-year but the option for 1yr+ wasn't available.

Pros:

It's completely functional.

Cons:

It used to be ugly.

For christ's sake, they finally paid attention to the product that's used by like a billion people. Many times I have resisted writing a post akin "15 reasons why I would fire google.calendar pm :)" hallelujah.
