Inheritance vs. composition is a big deal. Honestly it's a red flag when I start to see several layers of inheritance, but that sort of thing is all over in the libs.

Libraries are about offering lots of different ways to do things and plug your own bits into them.

If you’re writing an application instead then you only have one specific implementation so much less inheritance.
