What's wrong with Java's standard libraries?

yareally on July 2, 2015 [–]

Can't say I'm overly fond of the standard library for Date/Time in Java prior to Java 8.

I've heard they've gotten better since Java 8 and Joda isn't as necessary now, but haven't used it since Java 8's release to know firsthand.
