At least in my experience in the C++ world there is a general expectation that you learn the "standard algorithms" and prefer them over the alternatives unless you have a specific reason not to.

For example: outside the C++ ecosystem, most people probably would stare blank faced if they saw `std::rotate` in a codebase but it's basically a meme at this point in the C++ space.

For at least the first time, yeah.
