Careful now. You don't know that the person asking the question is a user. In fact, if they are a user then they surely know why they use it themselves and it is a simple matter to assume that others are making a similar judgement. More likely then, that the person posing the question is (like you, I assume) not using this kind of code and merely bewildered that others are.

OR ...the economics favour "shoddy code now" over "decent code later" and packages like this facilitate the former whereas coders like you, dear Irongut, favour the latter. Perhaps the Invisible Hand of the Meerkat needs to deliver a hearty slap.

OR ... the world is full of morons. Yeah. Maybe that.
