+1 to making this consistent between Chandler and Cosmo. A bonus of making this change on the Chandler side was that we found half a dozen anytime bugs, apparently the anytime code wasn't being very heavily exercised until I made it default. Perhaps, post-preview, we should have some slightly more formal process for making sure changes to defaults like this happen to both Cosmo and Chandler? > When I demo'd Chandler for a couple of friends a while back, they > thought the anytime event feature was pretty good.

In fact, for the dozen or so people who I've demoed Chandler to, anytime events (when explained as "like all day but they don't take up busy time in the minicalendar") was hands down the most enthusiastically supported feature (not that people didn't like collections, sharing, and triage, I think people just had a harder time wrapping their heads around the possibilities). Anytime events for most cases where people currently use all day is certainly a modest evolution beyond existing calendar apps, but my anecdotal experience suggests people quickly grasp anytime, and it apparently works well as the default for most people.
