Hi Hubert,

I think it's mainly because of UI consistency. We need browser and OS 
consistency. So it's much easier to create your own UI and be consistent, 
instead of documenting a 100 different OS and browser combinations. 

   - Date and Time pickers imo are always used in a very specific context. 
   ... You mentioned Projectify, which is a task-management context
   - On a holiday-booking size you may need a "from - to" context and you 
   probably need 2 pickers in 1 "popup". 
   - In a calendar context you will probably need additional fields for 
   "week" and "time" ... 
   - ... .and so on ... 

All of this makes it "easier" to make it on your own!

*On the other hand* date-calculations are extremely complex, since they 
have to deal with country and / or region specific differences. ... That's 
the reason, why many 3rd party libraries are huge in terms of byte-size. 

So TW only provides the most basic possibilities. ... Even if they would 
profit hugely from some "love", since the browsers have made a lot of 
progress since TW5 and the date-functions have been created. 

Just my thoughts!
