While fRoots may well be seen as the largest number of listings the way it is now organised makes it much less useful in terms of planning which festivals to go to. It no longer has what was a very useful option ie that of listing festivals in date order such that you could choose a date and see what events were running. This option, which they discontinued, was a much easier way of clearly seeing what your options were on any given date. The system as it is now you have to look up each festival name individually to find out when it happens. So if for example you want to know what's happening on the 3rd weekend of September you now have to check out EVERY listing for September which takes a very long time to go through page after individual page. As you may be able to tell I am a lot less than impressed with the current incarnation of the site.
