People who say this are Joda Time users.

Date (and Calendar) are not deprecated at all, but some say that Joda Time is easier to use. I can't confirm since Date and Calendar have always done what I needed.

The java.util.Date class has a deprecated constructor. That must be what they mean.

Ah yes, and almost all of its getter / setter methods are deprecated. Calendar should be used for that. So not but Also, not but

Us JodaTime users don't say they're deprecated, just that they're heinous ;)
