I did try Aeon Timeline 2 a few weeks ago, and, as far as I mastered the program, you are absolutely right.
It allows you to quite easily set up a broad variety of months and weeks, but that is about it.
You cannot change the frequency of leap years and you cannot add leap months. There is no easy way to add lunar cycles, absolutely no way of setting up competing calendars (like Gregorian, Jewish and Islamic or "Human", "Elven" and "Orcish" or Earth and Proxima Centauri b) etc. asf.
For the time being I calculate most dates by hand with some help of the donjon fantasy calendar generator.
Hopefully, this feature RW comes sooner(TM) than late.
