Looking at the internals is often why I choose to use it. It catches edge cases I might not think of, and the performance tradeoffs have been negligible to none. I don't use it for everything, and definitely try to use native and/or narrower scope methods when it makes sense, but it's saved me a lot of time and headache throughout the years.
