If you want to debug issues with sending mail from code, then ensuring you have something that will scream if you "do it wrong" is a big bonus. And having something tested for 20+ years with rigid adherence to RFCs, deployed more widely than any other *nix MTA, is probably a good thing too. In terms of "essay", I know it looks big on your phone screen (I presume), but a few paragraphs of background info is hardly that.
