Of course depends on ones mindset and scope for the game. If you made one or two very simple games "back in the day" and just want to repeat the experience, using libraries can be a smaller hurdle than to grok a game engine.

But if you want 3D objects or game networking etc etc, a game engine will probably be the right thing.
