That is a REALLY irritating method of entering a date! To go back a decade, you have to go to january of the first year in the dropdown, click the previous month button.

Can't I just type in a date?

Typing in the text box should just work. I'll try to make that more discoverable.

Or if you have another date input widget I'm all ears.

Just replace the year dropdown with a text input, or even just load the dropdown with 100 years (or both).

I can't type in the text box, as soon as the widget closes the form submits.
