No. DatePickers, along with Forms, are the bane of my existence. More choices that are brought to light, the better.

- corford 14y agoAmen to that
- thecosas 14y agoPreach!

- electic 14y agoToo bulky in my opinion. I don't need 90 percent of the things in that sdk.
- ergo14 14y agoso dont require them, you only use/build what you want. Its AMD and everything is nicely separated
- electic 14y agoI should add, I also feel like these big frameworks have all the components and dont do a good job of each component. I rather use something that is by itself but the author is passionate about the widget and it is the best it can be.
- ergo14 14y agoIt should not be a matter of "feeling", but testing things out. Usually frameworks like Jquery UI, YUI, dojo toolkit do a very good job, jquery doesn't provide any widget infrastructure, but still it does a good job afaik.
- nobleach 14y agoI don't really like Dojo, but their system is so modular, you don't have to include 90% of stuff. Kinda like jQuery-ui, you can choose not to include all the other cruft. Now with Dojo AMD (1.7+) it's even better and cleaner. You only require what you need and then build.
- hadem 14y agoPlease, never use the Dojo Toolkit. I was forced to use it on a project and working with it was reinventing the wheel while pulling out hair. It was overly complicated for something that needed to be straightforward and simple.
- moonlighter 14y agoAmen to that. The doc for it sucks too (not that there's enough there, but most doc for it found by google et al is obsolete/deprecated. And last but not least... the plugin ecosystem for dojo sucks even worse, and whatever widgets/dijits actually exist for it, usually look like @ss. The only one who seems to be committed to dojo is...IBM.
- nobleach 14y agoESRI the top worldwide provider of GIS software is also sold on Dojo and Dijits. I agree that their digits are uglier than Android Cupcake. I have had to use Dojo on several projects now and I also agree on how abysmal their docs are. They provide tiny little code snippets but aren't even clear of the context. "Ok, fine... where do I PUT this snip... isn't this a TUTORIAL???!!??" I've been much happier with the look and feel of ExtJS but its documentation is even worse.
- ergo14 14y agoOut of curiosity - what did you had to reinvent? The whole point is so that you could use existing components provided to you.
- ilink 14y agoAgreed! I had no idea how many bad ones there were until I needed one for a project.
- easytiger 14y agoAnd yet you keep us in suspense...
