for me the biggest trouble is that your things looks handy and

That's part of why I do it the way I do: you are hopefully able
to customize the code just using mine as a starting point for
your own hack jobs. I kinda assume everyone who wants to use them
takes a look through the source - that's why I leave comments!
(and my lack of traditional documentation means eyeballing the
source (or asking me) is really the only way to find the hidden
features anyway)
you know, "it looks so easy that i MUST write
my own variant". can you please make your interfaces convoluted
and heavy-weight? ;-)
But then even I would get annoyed with them and just write a
simpler version anyway!
This is how I pick libraries:
try
solveMyProblem(close_to_exactly);
catch(Exception e)
writeln("this library sucks");
finally {
do it myself with exactly what i need and little more
}
Yes, DIY is finally :P Unless the lib actually happens to solve
what I want exactly and has no other hassle... which basically
never happens... I end up doing it myself whether it sucks or is
actually OK.
y'all should do it too, it is informative!
