Yup, also "publicly supported solution" often means not perfectly customizable, and may only be publicly supported for a limited time. I find that most services get me 80% of the way, 2x faster than a custom solution. But the final 20% is an unknown abyss that will more often than not, have insurmountable limitations. And so, if the software is in my wheelhouse, I'm almost always better off building it custom.
