That's very true. Especially for tooling/products/services that sells themselves as shrinkwrapped products that only allow for a particular flow - sometimes reimplementing your own subset from scratch that's geared towards your usecase is less effort in the long run than hacking around a blackbox solution. I'd much rather occasionally work on feature for a well-engineered internal reimplementation than constantly fight with shellscripts wrapping around a solution with a huge impedance mismatch.
