I installed this because it can connect to Google Tasks, which the inbuilt calendar function of Thunderbird cannot. However, it does this in a completely useless way. The tasks are simply displayed in one long and undifferentiated list. Nor do any tasks with a date or time actually appear on the calendar. In other words, the integration with Google Tasks is so inadequate as to be completely useless, which means that this add-on offers nothing that isn't already built into Thunderbird, and is therefore pointless.

This add-on simply connects Thunderbird and Google Tasks. How Thunderbird displays tasks is beyond my control. I'd need to write a whole new tasks view instead of integrating into Thunderbird. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194863 is what needs to be fixed, then I can integrate subtasks.

You can make tasks appear in the calendar view by going to View > Calendar > Current View > Tasks in View. It is pretty hidden unfortunately.

There is one shortcoming related to task dates/times not showing, which in turn is a missing field in Google's Task API.

Now that all probably doesn't help a bit for usability, and I'd love to see this look/work better in Thunderbird, but I wanted to explain why I haven't done more in this area :)
