I think I've been through A, B and C... and finally got back to A :D My problem is that quite a few libraries we use eventually stop being sufficient (either because it has bugs, performance issues, limited use-case, too-wide use-case etc), and then we have to either contribute to it, with the politics involved which can be more work than the code changes, or we just bite the bullet and write things ourselves. For that reason, I find it really good to be capable enough to write things from scratch when that makes sense.
