No no, "politically incorrect" isn't the right term.
Your funding drive isn't doing so well is it.

Funny, I'm exactly the opposite of you. I bought both. I find it very handy on my iPhone because the interface is so smooth and well thought out, but to me it's a total waste of money on my MBP. Yeah, it would save me from launching the big window of the Calendar app, but I actually prefer being able to see out the entire month.
It might help that I still use one of those giant 30" ACD monitors and have plenty of screen to work with.

Truth.

I watched a few of them. I got what I paid for.
Quit bitching about this.
I am Australian too. And we live in the lucky country. So living here is not perfect and we pay more for Apps and Games then we should? It could be worse. We all know about it so we can save up for the Apps and Games we want a little longer.
I don't like this fact but I've learnt to live with it.
I have a 24" screen, but it doesn't matter. I want pop open the calendar, see what's coming up and/or add something, and have it go away. Most likely there's something else that I'm looking at at the same time (IE, buying tickets or something in a web browser). If I launched the full Calendar app, I'd have to actually launch it (use Spotlight, my dock, or Finder), then move it out of the way when it inevitably covers whatever I was looking at, then actually use it, then close it (I hate clutter - when I'm done with a window it should go away). With Fantastical, it's a keyboard shortcut or right in my menu bar already. It doesn't get in my way. And when I'm done, the default action is for it to collapse back into my menubar - I'd have to go out of my way to pin it if I wanted it to stay open (which is rarely what I want, so requiring extra steps for that is perfectly acceptable.)
I am jealous of your 30" screen, though, as an aside. I wish Apple would release some Thunderbolt screens at larger sizes and higher resolutions. I have a 2007 iMac, 24" (largest at the time) right now. I'd like to replace it with a 15" MBP and get a large external to go with it (the 24" feels pretty cramped - I've tried the 27" and they don't feel like it's enough of an increase).
I would like to see a few posts on the apps that people actually like from this list and briefly why. That would be valuable to casual readers.

I like PCALC LITE for free. Works nicely.
. Did buy the launcher app based on discussion here. And bought the scanner app too. A few bucks is not too painful to trial.

people still pay for apps?
People own $700 phones and are too cheap to spend a few bucks on an app?

Loving Tydlig too, but the lack of multiple canvases really cripples it.

I know it's crazy. I guess your never heard of "why spend more money when you don't have to"
