It can make sense to roll your own X in many situations, but the important thing to remember is that you have your own goal to reach and time you spend developing X is time you're not putting towards that. If someone else does X better than you could and there's no pressing reason to avoid it (expensive, difficult to integrate, etc), buy it.
