The sort of idiots who make those "why don't you write your own" remarks
probably still live with and are financed by mum and dad so don't see the
issue with spending months rolling your own system. Plus they seem to have
some kind of believe that you shouldn't criticise something unless you have
the ability to replicate it youself which means no one should ever comment on
any music, films, TV, food etc they disliked unless they could make a hollywood
blockbuster, album, whatever themselves. Its a very juvenile attitude.
