| 2 | | It is the reasonable thought behind the removing of the clear button. |

| 4 | | Not all fields are required. Asuming an empty field might be invalid is wrong! |

| 7 | | It is not a good usable choice, while a user clears out the input, the calendar can be an obstruction, the input sometimes might be covered by the calendar. |

| 9 | | Most of us use the calendar to avoid wrong format type and it is very important don't let the user think about the right date format we want (and to write it) |

| 12 | | ''' The best is to encourage users to not use the date input field at all. So, since they can choose a date by touch or by click, they shoud be able to clear the date by touch and by click too.''' |

| 14 | | It is better to let the developers choose what is invalid field or not :) |

| 16 | | The clear option should be part of the datepicker. |
