As we say around here, some prefer the mother and some prefer the daughter. There's no accounting for taste. etc. That said, the Date class isn't an object of adoration in committee meetings. Yet what's done is done.

A DateFormatter would be quite useful for parse/format functionality. I can think of a few times when I have worked with buggy hand-rolled dateFormatters (and refactored the implementation code to use a SimpleDateFormat (Java) on the server). java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

(this deserves a new thread)
