Fantastical is probably my most used and one of the best productivity apps on the Mac App Store. It's going for half price. Just wanted to share this as it is the lowest price I have seen. The natural language input is the most refined I have used in any app that incorporates it. If you are on the fence, the developer's website has a free 15 day trial.
I've been using Fantastical for a few months now, and it's invaluable. Far faster to check availability than opening up iCal, and adding events is a breeze. Well worth $20, let alone $10.

It looks like an iCal replacement. Why does it say it "works with iCal"?

It is probably referring to syncing. Fantastical draws existing calendar data from iCal and inputs data to them as you add entries. Has worked flawlessly with iCloud for me. It is not necessary to have iCal open for Fantastical to work.
I see. I've used iCal for awhile and find it somewhat infuriating in its almost deliberate lack of features and ugly interface. I'll give this one a go.

I downloaded and installed it. I thought I could see a full sized calendar as well, but it seems there's only one window size available.
Also, the App window is stuck below the toolbar icon-is there any way to pick it up and move it?

Fantastical is a menu bar app. There is an anchor icon in the bottom left of the window that "pins" the app above open windows. Make sure it is not highlighted or it will block your view. You can move the toolbar icon with an add on from the Flexibits site found on this page: Flexibits | Fantastical | FAQ

You're welcome. The preferences menu has some nice customization options and the help menu gives you some great examples of sentences to get you started. A couple of easter eggs: press option+v and then the spacebar to add a reminder; use a swipe gesture across the month calendar to change months. Enjoy!
I'm tempted - really tempted. But... in a month's time, will Mountain Lion make this app redundant? It's coming with Siri-style dictation, but so far as we're aware, no "real" Siri app with natural language integration. But... it can't be that far off, eh?
