A good client library should abstract away the rate limiting, at least. That is, it should keep track of how many requests you made over time, and if making another will put you over the rate limit, the library should block for however much time is needed before actually sending the request. For example, I can't imagine interacting with Reddit's API without praw taking care of the rate limiting for me.
