Nor any visible control to quickly take you to "Today".

People who use calendars for work-related purposes typically want work-week focused views.

None of this is new. Which speaks to the people developing/designing this. (Or maybe they have incorporated this but the handful of screenshots aren't exposing them).

They aren't dogfooding this - or if they are - they aren't the power users - people whose typical day have more appointments scheduled than free time.

They need to seek out the power users so their design doesn't preclude use-cases (or at least make them very awkward).

Here's a freebie - for monthly view - the day that is highlighted should get a detailed day view as a sidebar.
