Hi Uma I am guessing that the course is encouraging you to use gems because most of these gems solve a common problem. I'm sure you've heard the expression, "don't re-invent the wheel". Even for something as seemingly simple as pagination (kaminari) there are several moving pieces that you would need to write and maintain if you wrote the code on your own, without using a gem.
Inevitably, you will need to customize gems or how the gems interact with your application. So just being able to incorporate gems is not enough to write applications. There is always more to learn and that is one of the fun things about programming. I suggest you to take a class on Ruby (if you like Ruby on Rails) so you can learn how many of these gems work.
