Description
https://github.com/you-dont-need/You-Dont-Need-Momentjs#brief-comparison
It's several times smaller than all other alternatives (even those with tree-shaking) and seems to be as feature-rich as other packages.
What's the secret ingredient in this package that other packages are not able/willing to replicate?
Just want to understand if there are any drawbacks in using this package.
