I disagree: Even scientists don't reinvent the wheel. First they look what
others already did, then try to build on that.
People asking for some solution should always be able to test whether the
solution proposed is suitable for their needs.
Even professional software (if such a thing really exists) claims that the
customer is solely responsible to check whether the software fits its needs and
works correctly. Of course after having paid for it.
Also, software that may fit perfectly for one's need, may be unsuitable for
other people.
