It's a bit weird, really. Almost all systems have some dependency on modifying dates and times, yet many big frameworks and languages have completely broken support for it.

Both Java and Javascript, which is the languages I know best, have had big issues in the past. One had to use other libraries (Joda and Moment comes to mind), but that again is a problem when other libraries again doesn't use the same libraries for handling dates. Java 8 fixes some of this, and browser support has fixed some of the major ones in JS, but it will take a long time until one can be completely free of the hassle.

At my work, even in production we still have to use Joda Time to support proper datetime stamps. Momentjs is pretty much the same for JS at this point. I think my datepicker works pretty well, I just added a demo if you visit the github page at http://mobinni.github.io/material-date-picker/ you can test it.
