The idea that using a library to accomplish something essential but mundane is "lazy" is weird. If your job is to transport pallets of widgets from one place to another and you elect to use a truck that someone else has manufactured rather than building your own, that's expected behavior.

To stretch the analogy a little further, if that "truck" happens to be an 18-wheeler with some crazy gearbox you've never operated it's quite normal to, instead, make several trips with your own wheelbarrow which you know you can handle. That, in many cases, might be easier than using the 18-wheeler without preparation/training.
