When you used a built-in interactive HTML UI component (e.g. textarea, select, checkbox) in the browser was it because? A) Accessibility?
B) A better polished/integrated user experience than any JS library provides. C) Meh I just needed to throw something together.
There are a lot of JS libraries which are buggy or which have expanded to include far too many features. I will use one when it's well-written and simple, however in other cases it's often better to do it all yourself on top of built-ins.

When you do it yourself, do you find that you actually rely on the richer built-ins or do you end up reimplementing it using simpler primitives (e.g. divs)?

Unfortunately in many cases I have to reimplement with primitives. Either due to some Enterprise wanting something incredibly bespoke or fear about not being able to style correctly with CSS in some browsers, etc.
