I think "don't make header file libraries" is a good assumption to have, but reality is - stb libraries are one of the best library set I ever used in C/C++ domain. They are small enough to avoid "messy and a nightmare to modify" and powerful enough to be a great replacement for more "bloated" libs. For example I recently replaced libjpeg and libpng with one stb_image.h, it reduced 100kb of executable size, improved image loading speed by around 2x, reduced crashes on invalid image data for about 30% (we use american fuzzy lop fuzzer for testing).
