I believe more context is needed.
The company I currently work for uses a third party control library for the majority of their custom web development projects. This is largely due to a mindset, that I later learned of while working on a project, that things like javascript and css are 'for crayola jockey designers' and not for 'real developers'. So the company spends thousands yearly to do things they could do with the controls that come out-of-box with the .NET framework, and a little JQuery. What end up happening typically is we'll run into an issue with a postback from one of the 3rd party controls, which will evolve into asking the forums of the 3rd party tools for support, which will then evolve into a trouble ticket that is submitted to the group. While the issue could be fixed using the basic controls for .net and some javascript, these solutions are viewed as 'messy' and 'cryptic'. I got in trouble for this once while working on a single page for a non profit. After months of this behavior, we come to today's blurb from management. I've since accepted a position at another company with a toolset I find more suitable, and this week will be the last I spend with the manager from the quote is derived.
A quote from my manager in a conversation with other project managers:
"Nobody writes their own DataGrids. You just buy them".
I have never been more excited to leave a company in my life.
