It is. Datetime is an unpleasant problem domain, and Tim was active both on SO [1] and Github, arguably so much so that it was to the detriment of his health [2]. In the case of Moment, a little promotion went a very long way, and the community was eager to take what's given so they wouldn't have to think too much about datetime, and focus on debating how to arrange and design their applications instead. Moment's design is a testament to "let's not think too hard about datetime", and I mean that both as a compliment and a critique.
