I love comments like this because it shows me how diverse this field is, and how different everyone's experience and expectations are.
As a counterpoint to your comment, I make a living writing high-quality libraries. Everything I make is "in the box", but its not hard to improve on that.
My most popular tools are around string functions, json and xml readers/writers and network functionality.
So, on one hand I'm selling ice-cream in Alaska, on the other hand, it's good ice-cream.
It's a small market, a pimple on a niche, but its big enough to keep me going and that's big enough for me.
