Sarcasm?
Not having an example means you learn more (you learn more from failures
than you do by copying what someone else has done). Also, not having
something you can copy-and-paste from encourages everyone to create
their own unique interface rather than having 100 MODs all using exactly
the same layout and button arrangement (see "Counter-Strike clone" for
examples). :)
But, yeah, basically coders are lazy and will happily copy what someone
else has done rather than trying to invent the wheel themselves (even if
they could invent a much better wheel with a little bit of extra work).
