That's because it's better and Apple was right to change it...
Great reason bro! Love your argument! Hi-five!
This may have been addressed already but why not just set up an all day event? When you do this, it will be at the top when you go into the day view, making sure you won't miss it, and if the time doesn't matter, what do you have to lose?
I'll add in a small complaint here. I do have multiple calendars set up (school, work, home). If they allow me to color code them, why not make the dots match the color of which calendar they belong to?

The downside with that kind of approach (of full day events) is that you basically get no information about them in the calendar area (Today section) in the notification center at all now, which is rather bad.
As for the dots matching calendars, it would be helpful, but likely only if they were able to support more than one dot at a time too (to reflect events from more than one calendar).
It's not ideal for everyone, but for Altis, it may work.
I didn't even notice that it didn't support multiple dots. I must have been getting my calendar within iStudiez mixed up. Never mind then.
Thank you for the tip. I might try that, but I'm trying to get in the habit of always putting a time in, especially for setting up alerts.
Calendar Daily Preview lives on!!!

Actually, the daily "preview" does exist - launch the Calendar app and tap on the search icon next to the + in the upper right hand corner and bam, their's your daily preview!

Thats more of the Agenda view and not really the different daily preview feature that was available before as well.
I didn't particularly like the ios 7 calendar either. I have Fantastical on my iMac and like it. I, too, am waiting on Fantastical 2. I noticed that Fantastical has dropped, in price, to $1.99. Just installed Mavericks on my iMac and the calendar looks a lot like the ios 7 calendar. I don't like that either. In time, I might get used to both calendars but don't think I'll grow fond of them.
When you set up an appointment using the phone, you are able to add Invitees by clicking on Invitees. These are people in your Contact who can be alerted that you have established the appointment. It is probably best used for establishing a meeting with multiple contacts. The system sends out an email to those Invitees telling them there is a meeting set up for a certain day and time that includes them in some way. They can reply to the email by letting me know that they will attend, or ignore. I use it to alert my secretary that I have established a meeting outside of the secretary's knowledge. This allows the secretary to avoid double booking for that same time.
Thanks!
Sent the message to Apple. Here's hoping we get back what we used to have.
If nothing else, this really shows the brilliance of the Jobs/Forstall combo. They really new how to make things work clearly and easily. Jony has a bunch of learning to do.

Will never understand why Cook fired Forstall. The maps excuse is lame.
Steve started with user experience then worked back to production. Forstall was the closest thing to Steve we had.
Maybe I just answered my own question.
sorry, I think that extra tap is super annoying. You have to go in the day view and scroll up and down to find what's actually in there.
Before you can just click on the day and it gives you the preview of the day without having to go in there. I don't see why this is better.
Apple will change it back eventually. no doubt about that.

I don't think it totally sucks. But try changing the first day of the week to Sunday in Settings > Mail, contacts, calendars. Notice that when you do that, the app displays today as tuesday, october 29, but on the upper bar instead of the red circle around the day it shows it as black, and as a wednesday instead of a tuesday (see attached image). This is bugged, they need to review this app.

You didn't notice any differences and lost features compared to calendar before (both the app and how it integrates with the notification center).
Are you going to point out what you are missing or just ask cryptic open ended questions?
I wasn't the one you asked in your reply, so I wasn't replying to the question and simply asking a clarification question out if curiosity.
That said, this thread outlines at least a few items (a number of times) that have been omitted or changed in a way that made them at least somewhat less useful than before as far as the iOS 7 calendar app goes and its integration with the iOS 7 notification center.
