I agree with you, for pretty much the same reasons. Plus, I'm anal. I like to be in control, and know that I can write the basic code (even if I've done it many times before). If I were in a production environment it might be different, but I'm not.
By the same token, I eschew PHP class libraries. But, again, my coding is not complex enough to need the crutch.
Perhaps we can be codechums?
