We have default libraries, you will find that default libraries end up getting overridden and augmented more often than they are just used.
What gEDA gives
You here are many ways to Make symbols with symbol generators such as djboxsym. This is posable because of out plain text formatted library.
Don't let a library make a decision for you. We use cadence at work and never touch the default library. I now have two friends that chose eagle because of it's library and now don't even use its library.
For the microcontrollers. I think geda would be a winner because I would write a script that took in the publishing from the data sheet and then made a symbol. Then since datasheeta don't vary much for a particular company and series of uC then you have access to use them all
