"Why did I make my own? There are many good ones out there. I had trouble finding a CMS that had everything I needed AND easily fit into any design/layout. So maybe it is too personalized to my needs?"

Personally I think it's the best route to take if you plan to make a career out of it. Otherwise your at the mercy of a development team who are not necessarily on your side. Speaking from experience. I have wasted years of my life trying to deal with other peoples code. Even when I haven't modified the code at all... I have still had days where another development team provided a seemingly good upgrade path for an installation only to have the website crippled permanently (enough to make you give up on it).
