Nice review and love this site overall. Which one of these calendar plugins is the best for managing recurring events? I am using 'Calendar' presently but recurring event handling cumbersome. We need something with flexibility to cancel or edit one instance of a recurring event (like Web Calendar). Any advice appreciated.
