Pedantically, the developer could also be a user of the library, but their main point of view is as a developer of such functionality, and their opinions are influenced by that. If they've put a lot of effort into something, then it's likely that they will overvalue it. Feedback from other developers is of course extremely useful, but the difference should be appreciated.
Why is it that there is again this 'selfishness' being silently alleged. Do you imply that just because I claim to have a better understanding of the applicability of a particular idiom/library then many others (because I'm working in the field for years) my opinion is too biased to be considered useful?
I said, "Feedback from other developers is of course extremely useful". I have no idea how you managed to interpret that as saying that you're opinion isn't useful.
