I do and don't agree with that. I keep a snippet library for things which I can reuse between projects. I agree, if used wrong (like intra-project) it can be bad, but that is no different than most anything. Use any tool wrong and you will get bad results. I have worked a lot in consulting, and either we create and share a common library with clients (which some refuse) or we use a snippet library to stop us from writing the same common code components. Better a snippet library than having a good memory which means you might miss things and have to repeat mistakes which costs you time.
