Dates/Times/Calendars, and all the politics therein, is perhaps the second most complex thing computers are asked to do. The first being human languages (UNICODE, LTR Vs. RTL, CTL, Encoding, Sorting/Collation, Normalization, etc).
Everyone agrees that Date in Javascript wasn't very good, but getting agreement over how to solve thousands of legitimately hard problems takes time. My viewpoint is that it is IMPRESSIVE it ONLY took them 15-years to get this far, and I congratulate everyone and all the hard work it took.
