lmao, basically, yes. except when you bring this up ppl think it's not a big deal / a means for self-expression. having to sort through which libraries you prefer to glue together is a kind of freedom, if you squint hard enough.

I get the "you're reinventing the wheel!" thing, but trying to fit a formula 1 car wheel to my horse-and-cart system really isn't working for me. I need a different wheel, so I'll just build my own. Luckily there's a ton of good libraries available that have all the tricky bits covered so it's relatively easy to build my own wheel.
