One more thing I forgot to mention in my review: let's all remember that DayLite is a first-generation 1.X Cocoa app. Like all the excellent new Cocoa apps out there, it's not perfect but if you'll notice it's evolving rapidly as most Cocoa apps are. The developers are responding to user requests and gripes and evolving the app in a quite promising direction. The underlying platform and developer tools are also evolving rapidly, which must make developing on it exciting but also something like trying to hit a moving target.
But consider the alternatives: even in its first generation it's far better than anything on the Windows platform. Would you rather use a cutting-edge albeit immature app with a promising future ahead or an old crappy app on an old crappy platform? It seems to me an app with a solid start and great potential on a growing platform is a better investment than an aging app on an aging platform that's losing market share and has nowhere to go but down from here.
