Should programmers use STL or write their own code?

I don't know much about C++ data structures but I am wondering do you (programmers) use STL or write your own code? After all STL is designed for doing tasks like searching, replacing and much more through a list of data.

Someone really don't need to learn much about the linked list, binary search and many more because I could use STL. What would you suggest?
