This is a laudable goal in general, but my opinion is that the software should also make it difficult for the user to use it incorrectly. The Wyrd frontend supports 12-hour times, and even offers fuzzy logic for creating a reminder by typing "meet with Bob tomorrow at 9". The fundamental difference is that Wyrd provides immediate visual feedback to the user; the new reminder appears on the schedule, and at a glance you can verify that it was created correctly. As a standalone tool, Remind doesn't really give you that kind of instant feedback.
