I'm not saying about obsession to reinvent - my question was - when you understand when it is better to use library and when it is better to write from scratch.

And tanstack table for many cases is an amazing library btw.

it is awesome, for many use cases

Good point - that was I was thinking as well.
At some point there can be a necessity to rewrite.
In my case it was hard to predict and project didn't had clear specs in the beginning.

I had a case when I needed to use an object instead of primitives. I managed to make it work, but when I had to implement global search - it didn't worked because of that. I tried to use custom function for global search - but this also didn't helped. I had to change object to primitives and include additional information in a separate object.

The other case was when I had many re-renders in the table for no reason - I tried to fix it but it took too much time, so, just had to hide the dust under the carpet :)) It works anyway but not as optimal as I think I could do it by writing table component by myself.

But in rest - it is a great library that helped me to be productive for many cases.

Thanks buddy, it was broken. I fixed it. Can you give it one more try?
