This.
My time library is so much faster and smaller than yours. Timezones? Nah, didn't implement it.
My font rendering is so much simpler and faster than yours. Nah, only 8 bit encodings. Also no RTL. Ligatures? Come on.
The list goes on.
Don't assume. Casey Muratori produced a highly correct Unicode renderer with correct VT code support.

Except that in this case it’s the other way around. This weekend project has better support for things like like ligatures, combinations of Arabic characters, RTL, etc
