Why doesn't Mountain Lion give you the choice of different snooze time?

I was wondering why Apple had taken the ability to choose different snooze time when the allert poped up. Before you had the choice between 5 min, 30 min ect. Now it's set to 15 min and you can't change it unless you go into the calenda app and change the time on it manualy. It would be nice if Apple would reconsider puting a drop down menu if you press the snooze button for more than 2 seconds that would let you choose your snooze time.

Thanks for hearing me

BusyCal 1 had good snooze options. BusyCal 2 has the same problem as Calendar.

Yes--very disappointing. Any good alternatives (other than staying with BusyCal 1 as long as it keeps working)?

I'm facing the same problem--hanging onto BusyCal 1 for now, but what's the longer-term solution? It seems crazy that Notification Center doesn't just allow for a long click on Snooze to bring up variable snooze options. Has anyone experimented with Due?

Why pull out a core function of a core app? This is very frustrating and yet another disappointment in the Mountain Lion OS. What is Apple thinking?!?

This is one of the most (but certainly not the only) boneheaded things Apple has done. This rates along side their discontinuance of 17" laptops. I fear for our future...

HOWEVER, I just found an App that adds variable snooze functionality to notifications. No need to use a different calender or reminder app. It works with iCal! I just started using SNOOZEMASTER today- and so far, so good!

THANK YOU! I can't fathom why they don't fix this yet. It can't be that big a deal, and it's just common sense! Is it fixed in Mavericks, perhaps?

Thanks for this, Snoozemaster is pretty much like reminders use to be.

In answer to oncfari; it's not fixed in Mavericks.

Just a thought; are Apple leaving room for developers to earn a crust and also boost their own app sales?
