There are a lot of companies where the software you can use (libraries included) are strictly controlled and the introduction of new software must go through a vetting process and review committee. This is often (usually) the case at large corporations like the one I worked for last year. I wanted to use a Java library that I'd found and I couldn't because I didn't have time to send it through the review process. (Lot's of Word documents, justifications, needed approvals, SOX compliance, source code reviews, deadlines, etc.) So I wound up having to recreate it's functionality on my own.

Even if you do have time to send a library through the review process it still may be rejected. In which case, you've just wasted your time. Very paranoid companies (think financial institutions) tend to reject large open source libraries where there is a large amount of source code to dig through and review. They fear, that with a large amount of code from unknown contributors (unknown to them at least), that malicious code could be hiding in it. The larger the code base to look through then they fear the better chance there will be malicious code hiding in it that might be missed.

Then you have the (all too often) manager some where up the chain who is so biased against open sourced code (because he owns Microsoft stock) that you just don't bother.

level of knowledge and understanding. And if you don't, what you come up with will be substandard.

There are a large number of projects out there in all shapes and sizes with all manner of political and technical flavours behind them. Although P.W. is a fabulous thing, the nature of it may not suit "direct application" to all projects by all people in all situations.


cheers.
