Did Google Calendar somehow forgot to include reminders?

[fortherest17]

Is it only me who finds it annoying that reminders are not a part of the Google calender?

Say I need to create a reminder to pay my credit card bills 6th of every month. In the Google calender, I can only create a "EVENT" to remind me to pay my bills, to which I need to give a "from" time & a "to" time. I do get a notification at the time of the "EVENT" or before it depending on the preference set by me while creating it . If I do not dismiss the notification, the notification vanishes as soon as "to" time is crossed :|.

I do not want the notification to vanish untill I dismiss it. Well, thats how a reminder should work!!

I am aware that there are a number of app in the play store which meet my requirement. But I have always wondered how and why did Google miss out such a basic requirement? OR am i missing something?

Instead of using Google calendar to do that, simple use Google keep on android market that fulfill your requirement.

Yes, Google Keep is an excellent alternative.

But just wondering how and why is the reminders feature missing in Google Calendar.
