Pros
Pro Free, open source
Lightning Calendar (just as Thunderbird) is completely free and open-source meaning that anyone can use it as well as look through the code or even use the code for their own projects.
Know any positive aspects of this option?
Cons
Con Does not always clear old events from the display, even when the event has been deleted
When accessing Google Calendar, every check shows that the event does not exist anymore.
Con Not for all the versions
You have to downgrade Thunderbird just because Lightning didn't upgrade to the last beta version.
Con Long term availability/ support
Although Thunderbird has an impressive track record and many years of reliable service, its continued existence has been doubtful more than once). For now, all seems good, but it would not be surprising if tomorrow it turns out Thunderbird "has left the building".

Hit or miss if your version will support it. Broken third-party gmail integration.

Every time I've tried this calendar program it's broken in some fundamental way. Right now the vast majority of extensions won't work because of an update. It has always had the potential to be a really great email/calendar program, but Mozilla treats it like an unwanted guest.
