Problem being a part good for one use might not be good for another.
Think of pad sizes/shapes, or something as simple as component legend text  
or even line width.

In my experience i had to at least edit _all_ components, even those that  
came with the software.
If you make them as you need them it isn't terribly much work.

But if that isn't a concern for you then try it, i just wanted to add i  
found it quicker to make/modify my own parts than looking for them.
