do you write them completely from scratch or do you write custom nodes for whatever node-based shader editor you use? I am a novice when it comes to shaders but I wonder about the performance difference between hand written shaders vs generated from a node-based editor.

Nowadays it's more valuable to create custom nodes to enrich the node-based editor library. Sometimes we write shaders from scratch if we need to implement some original lighting, materials, etc
