Yes, I didn't mean to imply that it was _lacking_ in features, just that
the main feature mentioned so far has been browser integration (with
fair reason, too).

No I haven't, but one of the main reasons for that is because I mostly
bypassed online (read: not controlled by myself) services for any sort
of syncing - I eyed a couple, but my primary thought was to retain
proper control of my data. Besides, I was setting up a host for a mail
server anyway and was looking for online calendaring and contact
management for syncing between devices, so it wasn't that far out of my
way.
