One of the things that we learn, as we mature, is that "It Depends" is a mantra for life. A good filter is the "How Important is It?" filter. If I'm adding dependencies to an app, a styling dependency is less crucial than an algorithm one. I may just apply some fairly basic checks to a styling dependency, and maybe use injection, to make it easy to swap out. I may also look for free, or low-cost ones. For the algorithm, which may be my bread and butter, I might be a hell of a lot more demanding, and I may consider using a commercially-backed product.
