I don't find it that disingenuous. I recently used 0MQ on a project, and quite frankly it would have taken a lot more code to do what 0MQ provided out of the box.

0MQ implementation is built on Sockets. I can build the same features on top of Sockets, but why would I want to if it works well?

Side note: I'm interested in looking deeper in to nanomsg http://nanomsg.org/index.html -- which is a re-write of 0MQ by the original author.
