I will admit that an understanding of the underlying code and concept was very beneficial. However, for novice programmers or those just looking to get a drive system working at the moment, there's really no need to reinvent the wheel, so to speak.
Well I can argue that you will never get better if you do not push yourself. Oh and BTW I can get the drive working in 5 lines; its quick and easy. The road to the top is always uphill, there is no easy way out. That is how I see it as. Just like "never put stuff into your body that you don't know".
