Reinventing the wheel is sometimes a feature - using other people's stuff, you gain their features, but you inherit their bugs, their release timelines, whatever overhead they baked in which they thought was okay, etc. You lose the ability to customize and optimize because it's no longer your code... It's all just tradeoffs in the end - I think golang is finding some success because they didn't make the same tradeoffs everyone else did.
