CodeIgniter, like most frameworks is about convention.  You may have your own 
"functions" but only you are likely to be familiar with them.  If you do things 
the CodeIgniter way, then it's easier for somebody else to follow because 
CodeIgniter is better documented than your own code.  Also, CodeIgniter has 
lots of people working on it so bugs or security flaws get fixed quickly.

CodeIgniter isn't just a group of libraries, it's an MVC framework.

Kind regards,
