Does anyone else hate the new calendar system?

Why on earth did Apple decide to put all reminders into the calendar itself? That is incredible awkward and makes the calendar itself cluttered and much less useful. I have many regular reminders that I'd like to have show up in reminders without appearing in the calendar. Please revert to the older system as soon as possible!

Deleted Reminders Still Appearing in Calendar Search Results After Reminder-Calendar Integration (with macOS 15.0, iOS 18 and iPadOS 18) Hi guys, since updating to macOS 15, iOS 18, and iPadOS 18, I’ve noticed that deleted reminders still show up in Calendar search results, despite being removed from the Reminders app. I’ve tried several troubleshooting steps, such as disabling and re-enabling iCloud Calendar sync on my iPhone and iPad, deleting and reinstalling the app, and restarting the devices, but the issue persists across all platforms. However, on macOS, restarting the computer temporarily resolves the issue, but it reoccurs when any reminder is deleted. The issue seems to be related to the Search/Spotlight cache because the deleted reminder doesn't appear when navigating to the relevant date in the Calendar; it only shows up in the search results. It would be great if there were cache clearing or similar troubleshooting options available on Apple devices for issues like this.

reminders keep disappearing, keep asking for upgrade, upgrade but not working I just updated to ios16.2 and upgraded my reminders as suggested. When I clicked on update now, all my old reminders disappeared(I manage to find the old ones on the old version on my mac). But after I upgrade it, I create a new list, sometimes it comes in the updated "smart" form, but sometimes still in the old form. It keeps jumping from the old version to the new version and asks for an upgrade every time it jumps back to the old version. And whatever I add just disappeared the next time I open the app.

I don’t even use reminders very often. I’ve used the calendar app for appts and to remember things for years. Now, on my SE’s smal screen I have a tiny smidge of screen space to scroll thru each item and deal with useless links to reminders. Guess I’ll have to find a new calendar app on the App Store.

You do know that you can simply opt out of showing reminders in the calendar? As if you opted out of showing any other calendar :)
