What do i say, well i think that the easy way to anything isnt alwaays the proper way, i myself prefer to sit down the old way and write the code myself ,why? in doing so there is a greater sence of accomplishment and knowing that your not puting up the front that you got it done but did you get it done right! so my vote is for good work and not the easy way out on a project, i've worked on over 200 video game projects and fount that to me, it was more efficent on clarity of knowing the functios that you wrote are going to work because you wrote the code. Note* trial and error is some times the best teacher:)
