Also just typing the date manually is almost always faster than using a date picker. Or at least that's how I perceive it, which is all that matters. I hate apps that force me to take my hands off the keyboard and use the mouse.

Also every year I get a little more resentful of spinner wheels for year of birth that start at the current year.

As soon as we solve the whole US-using-a-different-date-format-to-the-rest-of-the-world problem, absolutely. Having it automatically display the day of the week as you type the date would be a big help though.

The problem is that "just typing the date manually" actually has quite complex i18n issues. It can be done well, but that generally means you make the user explicitly confirm the date they just typed.

Yep. They increasingly break addons that (try to) enable me to do everything from the keyboard.
