I value my developing times more than anything. Boost is one library which is developed and tested on almost every c++ target platform, providing us with stable, tested, and performing common utilities to speed up your developments and run anywhere.
Reasons not to use boost:
- My code is one monolithic spaghetti and I do not use unit tests.
- I do not want to learn Boost.
- I don't trust template hippies.
Not using Boost is an irrational decision and you know it.
