If everybody thought like that, nobody would use any library or 
framework at all.

Decent helpers usually have about 80% of what you need. That is already 
a huge saving if you can use the helper instead of writing your own. You 
just need to write the other 20%[1]

* As for us, we used it and had to implement couple of things which were 
merged recently from our pull-requests: progress bars and status-icon 
widget. So please, go ahead and implement MessageBoxes and 
PasswordTextEntries.
