I do use Mac, safari normal (though Firefox seems faster, at least on
the javascript side of things, but it just aint as pretty!) so I have
tried it in Firefox and Camino, and yeah it works fine apart from a
slight flicker opening the months/years drop downs.

sure, perhaps that's not the best one then, I didn't really look too
much in to it to be fair.

I think it depends entirely on the implementation. To make sure we're
all thinking on the same lines; If your creating an application for a
known audience and need fast data entry I can see a need to allow input
in the fastest way, which would be a single text box, and in the format
most natural to the user. But if you are building an international
public web site then it's going to be inanely difficult to build the
entire site so it feels "natural" to every user. Therefore providing a
globally accessible method to select the date in a way that is very
hard to get wrong, i.e. a Javascript calendar that falls back to select
boxes to remain usable without Javascript, would be, in my opinion, a
reasonable option.
