It goes back to that thing about nothing being in black and white and instead being on what it is that you're looking to accomplish. Even then those are rare cases, so I'm amazed when I hear someone make an excuse against reuse.

I think premature dismissal of reuse of other libraries is probably a cousin of premature optimisation. As an aside to Joel really say that about DirectX? It is a pretty thin API really. You would have to be pretty much insane to try and hit the 3d hardware without either DirectX or OpenGl these days. Nothing is ever black and white is it?
