I agree. My spare time is precious, and so are my spare brain cycles. If I have to spend a few hours at work researching and choosing a networking library, then fine. It's boring, but at least I'm getting paid. If I sit down in the evening to do some hopefully fun and/or stimulating hacking on a neat problem, and instead I end up researching and downloading libraries for functionality that most other languages have built-in, I chalk that up as an utterly wasted evening, and I blame the language.
