iCal does not have a recurring task feature.

Requests for support of repeating tasks is not new. I was a 1.x user of Daylite and asked repeatedly for repeating tasks. The response was usually its on our list of features it might be in the next release. But never was. It even reached the point where is was a high priority for version 2.x of Daylite (which got changed to version 3.x). When it didn't get added to version 3, I was told that the database model was incompatible with repeating tasks and that it would be a big engineering effort to add them. So don't get your hopes up. As far as I can tell, they made some unfortunate software architecture decisions early on that are incompatible with repeating tasks and they can't justify the expense of fixing those decisions. Repeating tasks are more difficult than appointments mainly because of the auto forward feature. Like what do you do when an uncompleted occurence of a repeating tasks autoforwards until it overlaps the next occurrence? Unless you design repetition into your tasks at the outset, you pretty much have to start from scratch to add repeating. So I have given up on Daylite. They don't consider it important enough and may never. Until it goes on an official feature list that they publicly advertise, I wouldn't be encouraged at all.

Correct, the distinction between task/appointment and event/todo are very important. We want them all to have the same flexibility, but Daylite/MarketCircle insists on treating them differently. We're all hoping that they see the light someday soon.

I think it is essential to be able to schedule repeating Tasks .. in my mind i see little difference between them and Appointments anyway.
