On: JetBrains Ring UI

Not being able to go back months or years without pressing the back button 3000 times is the worst possible design for a date picker.

I am assuming that you're judging the behavior by the minimal example in the top 1% of the site. If you scroll further, you will notice how extensible it is to support not only month and date navigation but many other customizations.

Exactly. There are tons of different ways to solve that problem in react-date picker, this being one of them: https://reactdatepicker.com/#example-year-dropdown

I also assumed it was limited in such ways. Mostly because it is extraordinarily rare that anyone bothers to enable those. I'd much, much, much rather have a singular, consistent full UX available to me instead of defaulting to some "simple elegant" artificially stunted version.

A hundred more clicks than JetBrains' one, though.
