Right, using too dependencies don't make things simpler. They make them easier as long as the dependencies can do exactly what you need. However sometimes you come to a point where the dependency can't do something that's needed (often by the time I realized a third party lib can't do sth, I could have implemented it by myself without the dependency) or where you've accumulated so many dependencies that they conflict with each other or where connecting two different libraries is the really hard part. No silver bullets.
