Because there's no reason to reinvent the wheel.

I swear, if I had to re-write m4l.bal2~ and all that shit then I'd ragequit so hard.

excuse my ignorance, but if you write your own you can make it better, then it is like inventing a new wheel.

btw, first of all, if you write your owwn, it is easier to remember its name!

(my highly busy supervisors might chastise me for reinventing the wheel instead of downloading and re-purposing an existing one. But I share in that boundless joy and freedom and creativity and pride and exploration that re-imagining the wheel brings, of which raja speaks. In my own humble experiments. When I can be bothered and have the time).

I agree. Those would all three be indicators of a "NON-commercial" project, like, not for a client or some such.
