Chris has some good points. I've never really been let down by iSync, but then I barely ever use it.
Oddly, it seems that Panther installs iSync via Software Update.
Or so I hear, anyway. cough

Other oddness. If you let iSync launch Software Update, the iSync updates are found.
iCal 1.5.1 has a new metal appearance that Unsanity's Metallifizer seems unable to deal with.
On the plus side, it does let you set custom calendar colours, and the use of drawers is probably a bit better than the floating palettes.
It's a bit faster for me, but until I can demetallise it, it's not going to stay launched for very long.

Nice thing: custom colours for calendars.
Not nice thing: you can't have different time zones at either end of an event. Like, say, a flight.

Look, the .ics format is painful enough already, thank you very much. :-)

I suppose you just have to work out how long the flight is really.
I wish it didn't swap the window size depending which mode it's in.
That's hardly a new complaint, though.
jerakeen just noticed that, unlike Cocoa apps, opening a drawer when it won't fit on the screen *doesn't* force the main app window to be smaller.
jerakeen:
I really don't like the title bar timezone
widget.
blech:
It could be that the custom timezone dropdown widget, the broken drawers, and the persistent metal are all signs of seriously custom window management.
Bad Apple.
jerakeen:
Yah, this essentially does not feel to me like a cocoa application. Bad thing. It's better, but overall, it's still to slow and annoying for to actually be prepared to use it.
blech:
Hmm. Turning off (de)Metallifizer stops the transparency artefacts Sven mentions.
We hate you all. Yes, especially you. Sod off and DIE
