Real life example: blogs. I, for example, have just set up a prebuilt theme on my blog just because I'm too lazy to build a specific one and I usually have to modify the original CSS files to get things running. On the other hand, in the design agency where I work, I never set up a CSS file any other way than from scratch. This said, we sell a custom built CMS which we set up for clients. Being from the old school integration world, modifying the wheel was my first approach to learn CSS, afterwards I ended building my own. Modifiying is sometimes useful especially for learning.

While I feel that there are times where frameworks and the like are the right solution, I usually end up trying to come up with my own solution first. There really is a sense of accomplishment you get from doing it yourself. Thanks for nice response Tyler.

I was beginning to think I was alone on this one. What's the fun of always using the other guy's stuff? I still feel a little like I'm 'cheating' when I use any type of library, cms, or the like. Also, I found your site from cssmania. Damn good job, keep it going. Thank You. I was beginning to think I was alone on this one. What’s the fun of always using the other guy’s stuff?
