Am I a bad developer for this.
-
Lately in the world of Swift, I have been using several open source UI libraries to help me achieve nice effects like: - This - and this - and this I feel however that I should be able to do this myself. I've only been messing with Swift for a few months, and I have the language and that basics of iOS development down, but I can't help like feeling a poor developer because of this. Should I stop using libraries like this and do it myself? What do y'all think.

Is that a user , business, or functional requirement?
User requirement of course. They always request the most useless features, and they don't know what they want until they see what they get... ;)

Because if noone ever did so we'd have cars with wooden wheels.

I used to have a car with wooden wheels - and a wooden engine. Unfortunately, it wooden go! I think there's a full coatstand of mine over there.

I think you have done the right thing - a lot of the time it's the case of not knowing if a control exists for what I want so I will write one myself. So count it as finding a treasure when there is a control that will do exactly what you need.

No. Others have done the work for you, for free. How amazing is that! Marc

Graphics is something completely else, to me barely related to programming (well, the kind of programming I do)! If you're specialized in creating awesome graphics, yes, you should be ashamed. If you're specialized in creating applications that actually do something, but that also need a little graphical touch to make it appealing to customers then no, let the people that specialize in graphics solve the graphics :)
