Customizable
The plugin is highly customizable, allowing developers to modify its appearance and behavior to fit their project's needs.

It is designed to be responsive, ensuring it works well on different screen sizes and devices.
Lightweight

Limited Advanced Features
While dateDropper is great for basic date picking, it lacks advanced features found in some other date-picker libraries, which might be necessary for complex applications.
Third-party Dependency
Being a third-party plugin, it adds an external dependency to your project, which might require additional maintenance.
Browser Compatibility Issues
There might be some compatibility issues with older browsers, which can affect user experience.
Paid License
Some features or versions may require a paid license, which could be a barrier for projects with a limited budget.
Customization Complexity
Although customizable, accessing and modifying the deep customization options might require a good understanding of its documentation and underlying code.

Efficiency
Identifies unused CSS, resulting in cleaner and more efficient code. This can lead to improved page load times and reduced bandwidth usage.
Ease of Use
Provides a straightforward interface that allows users to quickly scan their websites and find unnecessary CSS without needing extensive technical knowledge.
Cost Savings
By eliminating unused CSS, it reduces the amount of data that needs to be transmitted and stored, potentially saving on hosting and bandwidth costs.
Improved Maintenance
With a reduction in CSS file size, future maintenance becomes easier and more manageable, making it simpler to update or refactor code.

False Positives
May incorrectly identify CSS as unused if the tool does not recognize dynamic changes or conditional loading, which can lead to accidental removal of necessary styles.
Dependency on External Tool
Relying on an external tool could present privacy and security concerns, especially when sharing potentially sensitive code and styling information.
Manual Verification
Requires manual verification of results to ensure important styles are not removed, which can be time-consuming and somewhat negate the tool's time savings.
Incompatibility with Complex Frameworks
Might not effectively handle complex CSS frameworks or preprocessors, where styles are used indirectly or dynamically through Javascript or server-side frameworks.
