That's right, but THL also immediately shows the day in the popup. You can check while you are typing if the app gets date at all and if it is correct ('oh no, next friday is to late, I need to do it til the 14th' and don't get me started on the "is 'next friday' the friday this week or next week"-issue ;).
If OF doesn't recognize the date you find out after you have left the field and now you have to go back physically and mentally to reenter it.
