If you mean "breaking [certain] functionality" then sure, but from what I've noticed the broken functionality is limited to being able to see/toggle multiple calendars easily.

Not saying that ANY functionality should be conceeded in an update like this, but I am saying that your comment can be read in a way that sounds like Google made Calendar useless for "power users." I don't find that to be the case.

On my 16.4" notebook I can see all 6 of my calendars. And I really disagree with his last point: I find the black text MUCH easier to read. However, the white text, being more difficult to read, meant that it was easier to focus on the time-blocks and not be distracted by details. Still, I prefer the black text, and maybe a toggle switch to hide ALL text would be helpful.

I do think it's silly what they've done to the highlight around the current date. And sure, they should have a way to bunch together more calendars for those users on a 13" screen.

But treating this as abject failure of user interface is way overblown and something that power users -- which I do consider myself to be -- will soon adjust to.

Also, for me, on Firefox 4, the calendar is faster now. Clicking an open time slot to add an appt used to have a noticeable delay, now it's instantaneous.
