I have yet to encounter a single calendar date range widget that works well (hotel/airline sites all have it). Must be one of those impossible #UX problems. Or maybe just something that people think is easy that's actually quite hard to get right.

@eloquence The problem is not UX, the problem is time itself.
@eloquence The ones I despise are the ones someone has placed to record birthdays that don't allow manual entry. So lots of scrolling and paging, when a keyboard would be simple.
@MarvinFreeman @eloquence yes! I regularly have to enter my birth date on a site that manages my prescription medications. Every field must be entered using a scroll wheel and the wheel starts at TODAY! Obviously no one using the site will be born today. I have to scroll back quite a bit to get to my birth year, and I'm just middle aged. Considering how many older folks are on medications, and often struggle with technology, I label the UX malicious.
