Ditto. Not only that but if you do it yourself then you know it is right.

As the designer it is *your* responsibly to verify every part you use is correct. That the pinout matches the data sheet. That the part ordered is the correct part. But far too many use prebuilt libraries as a crutch. Its hard to run if you need a crutch to walk.
