There are definitely different use cases, but I generally find that complex black box tools are generally near perfect in practice. And a lot of the time, if there's a bug in the low level thing, it's in a less commonly used feature, and you can often reframe your project to do things in the same way everyone else does things. If someone else successfully used a complex framework, I assume I will be successful too, as long as I use it in exactly the same way as them. Sometimes that requires hacks that have a performance hit, but overall it cam still be faster than writing your own code that you wouldn't have time to optimize. I pretty rarely try any tool I wouldn't want pinned, since I don't tend to play around with the single-function more experimental stuff, and gravitate towards one size fits all kind of stuff(If I need to play a sound, I'll just use mpv, regardless of if there is something lighter or I don't need the features). If you are interested in tinkering at all then the whole thing goes out the window and complex tools become an "Abandon all hope" kind of thing though.
