I think this is strongly tied to the current fad have having every micro-library be "dependency free". I don't fully understand the appeal. "Here's my tool that is superior because it has no dependencies. Will you make it your next dependency?" I understand the appeal when you have a very small set of problems and ultimate flexibility, but this always ends up in a lot of duplication of effort and code (how many libraries have a denounce method, or other general utility method?) Maybe to rephrase, I understand the benefits, I guess I just don't understand the persistence of the fad in the face all of the drawbacks.
