You are nitpicking and TBH I don't get your message. My post was a general advice and the tendency of a creative mind, still you need to look into each case and decide if make or buy. And your NPM trap analogy is just blatantly wrong and doesn't help OP. You could have mentioned any package manager btw.

My brain says never, for everything there is some turn-key thing. Even your entire project might be franksteined with some third-party products and Zapier into something working. Same with libs, better a crappy lib than working days for something you might not need.

My gut says always: most of the times turn-key stuff has weaknesses and good libs with perfect apis, well maintained and with a great community are rare but they are there of course.

Hard question since what the gut says is more fun while the alternative is just about gluing libs together. But using libs and once they don't fulfill your needs build yourself is the right but more boring way to go.
