Don't forget to understand how/why/what those other packages do.

Including a package based on the contents of its packagist description alone is basically like reading the ingredients for a pizza and then eating a bag of flour.

It's the same with frameworks. "Modern PHP" frameworks usually include a ton of composer packages.
