Oftentimes it is better to make code that is easily copy pasted/edited later than to make reusable code IMO.
I think knuth was the first time I heard of reeditable.
For example I had to recently write some code to center a form shown as a dialog based on the overlying window. Because we use a MDI. I had to take into account local to screenspace coordinates.
Once it was a usercontrol embedded in a form, once just a form and once the top window, etc. All of those needed just tiny adjustments, while rolling it into one function would be MUCH more cumbersome.
