1. Read the OP's post again for his own examples. 2. In my case, colours are a big deal. Lots of calendars, the colours are essential for usability. I can't get the iPad calendar syncing satisfactorily directly with Google because of this problem. This is why i'm a happy to be a spanning sync customer. 3. Why the need to shoot this down? Do you work for Spanning Sync? If you don't like the idea and are not a dev, er, surely just move on? Personally I don't find your own use case compelling (sync cloud to mac) but i don't feel the need to rubbish it.....
