I've used EssentialPim. The program can't handle what Google Calendar can handle with ease, though. I use GCal for time-blocking my week which means there are a lot of repeating events that repeat from week to week. When I was trialing it, EssentialPim had a hard time handling that many repeating events in the calendar. It would freeze the software up and it was terrible when I tried to sync it to the mobile app. A web calendar like GCal or Outlook on the web handles that sort of thing with ease whereas an installed app doesn't. I may have a project slotted for 9am to 12pm which is something I'd just schedule in GCal where the tasks are handled for that in MLO but I do have separate tasks in the day apart from those projects that need to be done. For example, if I realize I need to go to the store at 9am in the morning for a quick run, I would add that to MLO and ideally have that show up on my calendar at the 9am slot. If I had to change the time for that to 9:30am or later, I could just move it in the calendar and the change is reflected in MLO. That's bi-directional sync and I don't think that would come anytime soon. I would just take seeing those two things together though even if it wasn't bi-directional sync. I'm willing to make the change in MLO so it's reflected in GCal.
