As a very, very happy EM user for more than 6 years now, I am sorry to read this. Yes, there are many options, but that makes this plugin extremely flexible.
Since it is not drag & drop, you can style it and control the output 100% to your personal liking, unlike just about every other events managing plugin out there.
Also, I have not seen one question by you on the forum, so I am wondering if you gave it a real chance. I am sure that if you had, you would have ended up loving it as well. 😉
I do hope you will find a different plugin you will like. 🙂
