Just to be clear, I was not meaning to imply that pendulum isn't better, but rather that not everyone uses it. Nor does everyone use requests, although it's very clearly better than what's on the standard library.

Discoverability is a very big issue in general, and with these libraries in particular. I for example have been working with Python for almost a decade and follow the community quite closely, but can't recall hearing of pendulum before. Last time I investigated this, the cool libraries to use were arrow and delorean. How are people expected to keep up to date with every cool new thing?
