Adding to that: 
  - less links in the chain of possible breakpoints (subitem of both above) 
  - syntactic choice in naming 
  - performance tuning to your own specifications, rather than those of  
an unknown entity. 
  - configuration issues 
  - unintended consequences - without reading through every single line  
of code in the open source code, you can't know what it does to session,  
other parts of your code/objects, or how it handles SQL queries/Ajax  
calls, etc. 
  - lack of bloat - You can spend a lot of time trimming down someone  
else's code for your own ends and removing extraneous bits (which may or  
may not break it), or write your own. 
 
IMHO, of course. 
~A!
