It seems like for both you and Jeffrey, it's about setting a specific time? As opposed to more granularity about # of minutes before an event.
If I may add my 2 cents. I personally like to have the granularity about the number of minutes before an event. Specifically for meetings. Call me Goldilocks, but 5 mins is too long, and 1 min too short, and I like my alarm to be set 3 mins before a meeting. Which is why I have alarms set in iCal as well, and iCal is usually the alarm that pops up first. Opposed to the Chandler alarms. I think the alarm pop up in Chandler is popping up behind the application for some reason, I've already filed a bug a while ago.
In any case, having the control of that granularity is key for me, and having the calendar remember the stored setting I had used before is also key.
Though things I dislike about iCal alarms is 1. you can tab over to the drop down of the alarm but cannot use the arrow keys to change the alarm time setting. 2. When the alarm does pop up, I close the pop up window, but the calendar icon is still bouncing on the dock until you click on the calendar icon and the calendar application has to come up front and center.
Now I haven't checked yet but there may be a setting I can change and just haven't done it yet.
