In my experience it's okay but it could be better. I use it right now to
manage my calendar. There are little quirks with respect to making sure
that all other users on the system are added to any events you create if
you want them to be able to see them on your calendar. Since it's basically
my wife and I on the system, I'd like to have every event automatically be
seen for both of us, but I haven't found a way to do it.

Another thing is that doing recurring events (specifically somewhat
complicated ones) isn't that straightforward.
