It is hard for me to reproduce the motivations leading to that change. If it is only for the cause, that the code of the widget is coming from a certain party, I think this is hardly sufficient. Let me explain: Looking at the DateTime widget of version 2.2, we had a very comfortable solution, that allowed also the entry of distinct minutes [1]. This solution was from the user experience much superior to both the current state and the new proposal. Furthermore it seems, that the new widget will be more unfreindly for user input: - no more simple overwriting of a date possible, the chars to replace have to be deleted first - no more simple input of the date without separator possible, separator must always be put in explicitely - loosing the possibility to handle date input with +2d, -1w etc., a feature widely used by the users we know - missing input validation (this probably due to POC state?) Until now for me there is less we gain and more we loose with this widget.
