I hate to say this, but it depends on the occasion. If it's for something special (or someone special) I'll make some homemade buttercream icing.
If it's for a potluck or something like that, I just buy it.

I don't want to spoil my home made by using canned icing. Home made icing is so much better tasting, doesn't have all those preservatives, and is so easy to make.
As far as saving time, it's MUCH faster for me to make icing than to drive to the store, pick out a can, go to the checkout and stand in line waiting to pay for it, then drive back home again.

I hate making icing, its hard to get it perfect, at least for me. I buy the cheap kind in a can and embellish it. Ill add almond, vanilla or whatever I want to match the cake. Ive made orange using orange zest, a little ginger , a drop of food coloring, it was yummy.

Depends on time constraints and how much powdered sugar I have lying around. Powdered sugar costs a lot more than granulated, and it takes -so much- to make the icing. x.x It does turn out really awesome, though.

Home-made. There definitely is a difference - store bought icing even smells funny!
