If people are going to go to one of our competitors, it's usually Date-fns. It's a quality library, but it doesn't have a date parser. I personally think that this is an essential part of a javascript date library given how unreliable the JS date parser is, but then I do maintain Moment. JS Joda is another option that recently came on the scene. That one is worth checking out, as it ports JodaTime, which is a sweet library, to JavaScript.

I'm Maggie - one of the maintainers that is stepping up for Tim. I just want to mention that in the time I've been working on the project I've learned that when Tim talks, you should listen. He's done an excellent job, and given our issue load I am surprised he didn't get burnt out earlier. For anybody questioning why Tim didn't better self-regulate his work load, know that we as maintainers feel a really strong love toward the project. We don't want to see it fail, and we will push ourselves to make sure that it does not fail. Tim has always done this, and he should be commended for it. Thanks Tim for all your time. Hopefully we can take good care of this.
