I've switched most of my work that used to use moment over to Luxon[0] now. It's still written by the same authors, but fixes a lot of the drawbacks[1].

Luxon is great.

Also, if you find you only really need one or maybe two date time utilities, date-fns [1] is an alternative that that takes an even more modular approach for tinier imports.

I'm using React Widgets[0] and I prefer moment over Globalize (been through so much pain with this). Maybe it's time to either write a localizer for Luxor or find a new date time picker

Depending on your specific needs [0], a lot of date localization can be done (painfully, but possibly) directly with Browser Intl [1] calls instead of a library.

[0] Current user's current locale is easy. If for some reason you need to show some other locale than what the browser is using you'll likely still need Moment or Globalize.
