I agree while I greatly respect someone who has the talent to do it all, it's very close-minded to shun artists who collaborate with others to put out their music. Who said that making music should be a solitary endeavour anyway? Also it's worth noting that Adele does write her own songs. 

No, Bob Dylan wrote his own songs. Check the credits. You will find professional song writers names in each and every one of her hits. If she was talented enough to write her own music, the song writing credits would reflect as much.

 

You're free to like whatever you want, but if you think she's writting these songs, you're being ripped off and lied to. She is an entertainer, not a song writer. Her name is slapped in with the studio owned song writers name because it helps sell records. Look up the Blurred Lines trial and read Robin Thickes deposition where he basically admits to not even BEING IN THE STUDIO when it was written. When asked why his name was in the credits, his reply was basically "it helps to sell records". You're being lied to.

Adele writes her own songs, and co-writes all of the others. She does not compose her songs though.
