This plus Safari desktop support for html5 date and datetime inputs will mean that soon date input and handling will be a lot less of a pain in the ass. I'm jealous of the young devs who will never even know how stupid js dates used to be.
My team just implemented the native date inputs for a client's site this past week. With native date inputs working for every good browser but safari desktop (it's in technology preview), we saved lots of time and effort with minimal styling of the native date input. Plus, it works soooo much better on iOS, the interface for date inputs is great. I assume it's similar on Android these days.
Yes! I can't wait until enough people are using the version of Safari that has html5 date input support. We have a big dumb custom date input that we can just completely throw away at that point and delegate to the browser.
