#3Pretty reasonable stance, all in all. Modern practices have changed, and favoring not breaking huge chunks of the existing web chasing new usages (that may already be accomplished well by other libraries) is a reasonable and professional stance.

#4Although I understand the reasoning in their post, I'm quite sad to see the end of Moment.js.
In my experience, it works reliably and easily. I've never had issues with it, and it does a fantastic job for a pretty big range of requirements.

#5Good for them. Open Source seems to have an irrational fear of done.
Done is good. Done should be the goal.
But it’s not. Because if you’re not adding new features and pushing code changes every day, your project is abandoned, dead. To quote another thread from two minutes ago: “I’m quite sad to see the end of Moment.js”
I wish the was a way to fix this attitude. So that project maintainers didn’t need to write two page apologies for finishing their thing.

Honestly, I wish more js libraries would be that way. I’ve used date-fns in a small part of an app, so of course when I return to it in several months, date-fns released a fully incompatible new major version.

#7This should be a reason to use moment.js more, not less. It’s done, so it will not change under you, and you won’t have to rewrite your app.

#8Pretty sad- I've used moment in 50+ projects. That said, it's a very respectable and thoughtful resolution. Thanks to the moment team.
I'm a big fan of Luxon and have been using it lately.

#9It's been common knowledge in the front end development community for quite a while now to avoid Moment.js due to it's file size. Glad to see the maintainers agree. I'm thankful for the work they did in progressing date/time management libraries as a whole, but just like jQuery there's now better alternatives.

#10Been a happy user for years, will continue to be. It works, it's battle tested, and powers many of my apps just fine.
