I often think about the "reinventing the wheel" argument. Isn't open source about diversity? There are so many fork, clones, "Yet another..."'s (yacc, yaml,...).
So many times I'm looking for suitable go libraries that solve a certain problem. There might be a few out there but every lib has its own pros and cons. Having the possibility to choose is great. Nothing sucks more than depending on a unmaintained clib nobody cares without alternatives.
The only counter-example that comes in my mind is crypto. You don't want to do your own crypto.
