about 95% in nodejs/server is still using commonjs.

I totally agree, you should keep library commonjs compatible as well. It is a good example of the situation when changes are done without considering community need, instead just because of "fancy" changes.

To be a little more specific: (for simple folk like me ;))
V5.0.3 using the stated import: "import dateFormat from "dateformat";"
Results in a runtime error of "Must use import to load ES Module:" in a nodejs typescript environment.

Moving back to V4.6.3 rectifies this runtime error.

crazy, over update everything (and break) and nodejs is basically commonjs in 99%, so non-considerate

If anyone wants to change the package, feel free to create a PR 😃

Been trying to become "less simple" - Drinking from the Firehouse. So a PR attempt might have success.

So Far:
In Summary this guy highlights the various pitfalls, and makes a good case for hybrid supporting both CommonJs and ESM.

It doesn't work out of the box with a standard react-app, I'm curious why more folks haven't run into this.
