You mean the horribly imprecise date wheel of doom thing? https://i.stack.imgur.com/ms5tX.png

That's the one UI control I hate the most. Please don't do that. It replaces 3 seconds of typing 1 (tap) 15 (tap) 1969 into a tedious thumb game, especially if you have to scroll through three decades of years. Even Apple recently replaced it (https://www.idownloadblog.com/2020/08/12/redesigned-date-tim...), thank god.

Pleeeeeeeeease don't do that. The dropdowns are fine, and much superior.

I realize this isn't data. What you call "awesome" I call "nightmarish". I would love to see actual research on the usability of that particular date picker scroll widget... maybe most users prefer it? I dunno.
