I suffer hard from NIH, I'm cheap, I like building things, I hate reading the docs, the perfect recipe for some bad NIH. I really like DHH's take here. If no one builds anything new we get stuck with the same old shit. I think theres a lot of things that as far as my use case is concerned feature complete and needs no more. I would just build with it or on it, but not re-invent. It's a slippery slope.
