Absolutely the same for me.

I have never, to my recollection, needed a large but niche packet that isn't either clearly reputable (wisdom of the masses) or verified by someone who's reputation is crucial (e.g. Microsoft).

I have on on many occasions used a small niche package though that was just a time saver. Something where I could either invest significant time in rolling my own solution out, or spend considerably less time checking out a small repo.
