I've done a share of C metaprogramming with the preprocessor myself, and have dealt a lot with other peoples' C metaprogramming.

I've also seen people use pages of algrebra as a substitute for a couple lines of calculus.

I struggled for years with a soldering iron, always frustrated by bad solder joints. Then, I discovered a Weller thermostat controlled iron, and get a perfect joint every time.

Not everyone knows there are better ways to do things.
