We upgraded from Netscape Calendar back when that was CT rebadged.
I get to upgrade to the most recent CT on new hardware once this
current fun is over. This means sucking data out of multiple
Netscape LDAP servers (these pre-date the Sun takeover) and
moving it to OpenLDAP at the same time, and it does *not* like
like it will be an enjoyable experience. This is so far from
being a documented and supported scenario that I am rapidly
losing my sense of humour.
Add in that the last round of trouble we had with CT -- the service
becoming unaccountably unresponsive -- was the result of our taking
the advice of the CT support group, and, well, I don't have much
confidence in the product.
That it sucks less than Exchange is not saying much.

OpenMail, or whatever Samsung has called it now? Though they're
trying to turn it into a UM system, and it was already pretty
damned byzantine to start with, so I wouldn't hold out much hope...
Even dtcm does horrible things. Have I mentioned lately that I could
make it consistently trash the SCSI bus on a Sun E4k?
Apple's iCal kinda-sorta has the beginnings of something which might
not suck too badly. It does at least conform to the iCal standard
(not related) rather than just making its own shit up. And it
"publishes" calendars using DAV.
