Because it has no fix schedule like Topcoder. In topcoder, 4 contest will be there except in some months and fixed TCO round. But here you will find lots of div2 rounds, Some combined rounds, some prizes competition with the mutual agreement with other organisation. I really like this because it helps to promote coder in creating problems for Div 2 first then if he is successful he will get confident to try to do something hard for both div otherwise he will try again.

I think Codeforces can post contests as RSS. We can use Thunderbird or something to receive it. Or someone can write a script which reads contest data from RSS file (XML) and update the schedule to a calender.

(But my habit is to view Codeforces everyday...^_^)
