Speaking only for myself, I avoid [other people's] dependencies like the plague. But I use a lot of them; just ones that I wrote. Almost all of my publicly-available work consists of Swift modules (SPM), with very few stars or forks. Not very popular. Which suits me just fine. I write for an audience of 1. I publish my work, because I believe that this forces me to do a really good job on it. I don't like to worry about my dependencies. If I wrote them, and they follow my Quality bar, then they're fine. I think, in all the work I do, I have maybe only two or three dependencies, outside of ones that I wrote, or that are provided by the development system (I write native, so there's no giant ball of mud hybrid library). It does limit the scope of what I can do, but not really that much.
