Why??
Because there is always more than one way to skin a cat.
Besides, my students now know the logic and coding a bit better than if they let a library do the work for them. I agree it is simpler to have the library do the work, but thinking your way through this process makes the learning that much richer. Additionally, troubleshooting the problems we ran into also made them dig a lot deeper into the code than if it just worked and they didn't know why.
