A few reasons.  First, I don't like the markup style they are using when 
interacting with templates.  They also go far above and beyond limiting 
what I'm eventually going to do and that is implementing hooks within 
templates.  In addition, I really do not try to use other people's 
plugins (unless it's something very minor).  This is mainly because of 
how I program, personally.  I like to be able to adjust/alter and 
understand exactly what is being developed and make alterations as need 
be.  Going with a plugin on this scale hampers my development as their 
ideas and mine might differ and I'd end up monkey patching a plugin. 
That's not for me.

I want to develop my own work.  I can certainly learn from others and 
their work, but that's something entirely different.
