Vehement disagree. We implemented our own context editing features 4 months back. Claude released a very similar featureset we had all along last month. We were still glad we did it because (A) it took me half a day to do that work (B) our solution is still more powerful for our use case (C) our solution works on other models as well.

It all comes down to trying to predict what will be your vendors' roadmap (or if youre savvy, get a peek into it) and whether the feature you want to create is fundamental to your applications behavior (I doubt encryption is unless youre a storage company).
