The one reason, that drove me to do my own versions: Shipped symbols have 
no default footprints attached. I don't want to remember my preferred 
footprint for each and every component. In some cases I was missing 
features -- Opamps with power pins detached in a special symbol. Title 
blocks with date, name and other attributes showing in the box. A little 
mark on one side of resistors and caps, so I know where to put my 
oscilloscope probe. SUBD9 connectors that have their pins arranged like 
in reality.
