You can spend weeks coding your own system and at the end of the day you'll have a website... With no tools. You can spend a week or a month coding the same thing with half of the options, and in ten minutes I can have a wordpress blog up and running with all of the bells and whistles....
Call it cheap, call it lazy, or call it productive - your choice.
It's nice having one system that everyone uses. People make plugins that are great and hand them out for free. Anything I need, someone has thought of it already. Why code stuff if you don't have to?
