It seems to me that there are 2 different types of recurrence: by FREQUENCY (e.g., every week, every 2 weeks, etc.), and by DATE or relative date (e.g., the 15th of each month, the last Friday of every month, the first Tuesday in September, etc.) I would really like to see both types of recurrence supported, since in real life most people have both types of tasks.

I know that this would make the recurrence feature more complicated to implement, but it would be a really useful feature. For example, I frequently have tasks at work or at school that are due on the last Friday of every month, the first Monday of every month, the 15th of every month, etc., and scheduling these with a tool that just allows scheduling things every n days is a hassle.

Also, for Frequency-based tasks, I would like to see not just 'every n days', but presets for commonly used frequencies, e.g., every /1-2-3-4-5/ (pick one) /days-weeks-months/ (pick one) in drop-down lists, or something similar.

I know all this is a lot to ask for, but it is just my 'wish list' for an ideal application.
