Custom solutions while initially potentially less complex gradually grow in complexity. There might be a time when you it's worth it to throw out your custom solution and replace it with more general dependency. There's still a benefit because dependency introduced at this stage is used way more thoughtfully because you know the problem it solves inside out. It might also change your psychological relationship with the dependecy. Instead of being disugsted by yet another external dependecy bringing poorly understood complexity into your project you are thankful that there exists a piece of code maintained and tested by someone else that does the thing you know you need done and lets you remove whole mess of complexity you yourself constructed.
