Well, I think you're both right : nowadays games use libs to speedup the
developement as well as avoiding any conflict problems that could arise if
you start from scratch. but on the other side, lib-only programmers are not
good programmers, they just know how to toy with other's people work and
usually don't understand the internal, that's why most of their product
suck. just see how many products run badly on a p166 while they could have
performed nicely on a p120 if well written.
