I couldn't disagree more. I absolutely LOVE VimCal, and one of the reasons for that is the menubar functionality.
Showing a countdown to my next meeting in my menubar, with one click video join, is super useful. The app itself shows how much room for improvement in calendar apps there is - their availability sharing and time travel features are consistently deeply helpful
This is all to say, I think this product approach has a lot of merit. I primarily use Vimcal in its "App Mode", not its "Menubar Mode", but its menubar mode is super valuable.
I happily pay Vimcal $15/mo, and love seeing in the space. Google Calendar and iCal are fucking terrible. I hope the SuperPowered guys crush it.
