Lpc2000

It's not that I (or others) don't know how to use these things, it's just 
that everyone is always under very tight time constraints.  If you need to 
take a day to create the physical parts in your CAD software then that's 
one more day until you're complete.  When you're working on tight deadlines 
and 10 hour days to meet unrealistic deadlines then that starts to make a 
big difference.  Add in the fact that (typically in my experience) every 
extra hour spent in the original design phase planning and thinking is 
worth 4 hours of debugging time.  Rush the design, spend a lot more time 
debugging.  So saving a day by using libraries already made, which are 
already tested and known to work, can save several days down the 
line.  Waste not, want not.

And it doesn't take a day to read a few responses :)
