I think it would be interesting if the DateField were combined with
"MaskedTextInput" component. By MaskedTextInput I mean a TextInput that has
a text mask (e.g. dd/mm/yyyy for a date) in which the user can type his
values (numeric only in case of DateField) without using the mouse. In a
DateField component the user would still be able to use the DateChooser
instead of using keyboard input.

I don't know whether such a MaskedTextInput is already in the works. I have
created one, and it's stable enough for production, but unfortunately it's
definitely not share-with-the-community quality (not to say it's rather
hackish). I also used this component to create a Spark-ish DateChooser. I
say Sparkish because it still wraps the old mx DateChooser. Just so you get
an idea of what I mean, this is what it looks like:
