    Most folks are used to a pretty visual calendar like Google Calendar or calcurse with wizards for creating events, so entering them in a text-file feels archaic/baroque. But using remind gives me a LOT more power for creating events that do weird things like having my entries modify their text based on presentation or calculations (e.g. Birthday events that say "Joe turns 31 in 7 days", adjusting the age each year and giving multiple days of countdown notice), crazy things like having repeating events that shift around conditionally ("trash day is on Thursday, but if there was a holiday earlier in the week, move trash day to Friday").
