Yeah.. I didn't get rude. Sometimes coders just have the NotBuiltHere attitude. I think it's something you grow out of.

We can build something, or pull something off the shelf. If it takes x time to build it, and then x time to debug and test and x^(1/0) to maintain it; far better to just add a gem. Even if it's not the absolute best, at least it's easy to understand and if it becomes a problem fix the edges.
