All three apps (Mail, Contacts, Calendar) are very feature rich, responsive and quite shiny. At least Calendar uses local storage (but will ask you before it does). All three apps took no more than five seconds or so to load for the first time, subsequent loads were much, much faster. iCloud saves state, wherever you are when you close the window will be where you are when you go back to iCloud.
I’m not a fan of the re-implemented scrollbars (Mail and Calendar even use pre-Lion and pre-iOS scrollbars). Also, composing a new message opens up a new window which seems very weird.
You should definitely go visit iCloud.com with deactivated Javascript or cookies.
And conversely, I have a paid developer account and it would not let me in. I think it might be confused because my Apple ID is an old-school one that isn't an email address.
Access to technical resources such as pre-release software and associated documentation, and information related to distributing iOS or Mac apps on the App Store are benefits offered to Apple Developer Program members.
Either the Apple ID and password you entered is not associated with an Apple Developer Program, or the Program that you are enrolled in does not have access to this resource.
