Lessee...

The calendar (events calendar) from holbrook has been discontinued because of security issues

TotalCalendar is really meant to be a groupware scheduler. It seems to me to take too much maintenance and returns too little benefit, especially since it's not free ($15.00). It *really* doesn't stand out above any other calendar, feature-wise

NuCalendar...this is good. Recurring events, nice blocks, nice module, easy administration, user submissions. The only reason I don't use this calendar is because it has no support for multi-day events (eg - vacation week)

Contending with NuCalendar is KalenderMX (demo here It's in German, though). It is what I'm using now. Comparable (almost identical, in fact) to both holbrook's 'event calendar' and Nucalendar (I *think* it's a fork of event calendar). The 2 main differences between this and NuCalendar is that KalenderMX does not yet have support for recurring events (NuCalendar does) but it handles multi-day events *superbly* (NuCalendar does *not*).

Now, if only I could get a merge of features between NuCalendar and KalenderMX, I would be a *seriously* happy person.
