Beside "writing your own" as a learning experience, another thing not 
to underestimate is the ludic aspect of all this. A lot of open source 
project are simply for fun, not for profit nor "efficiency".

Sometime, even though there already exists uncountable "solutions" out 
there, I just feel like writing my own as a hobbyist. Just because I 
can :o)
