Moment is somewhat the defacto standard for date manipulation in JS; it's to the point where most engineers I know will reach for it the minute they have to do any date/time work. This isn't too far off from a lot of people's usage of jQuery, and so the parallels in the name aren't unwarranted at all. I found it really useful, as I'm already very familiar with Moment, but am hesitant to use it on future projects where I only need a small fraction of its capabilities and don't want to inflate my bundle size.
