I had some really bad issues using vendor supplied (TI even!) and snap parts with misnumbered pins or the wrong width package... and many bad experiences with eagle built in libraries.
I much prefer using a formula based tool to make packages for a specific part's mechanical drawing, I just don't trust what other people have made yet. I'd like to be able to but the trust isn't there yet.
Maybe kicad could list parts as verified against a standard footprint based on user feedback so that I know that whatever random part number actually fits this particular soic wide or whatever bga pattern. Maybe a part number has no notes but it's nice to know that no one has checked it manually yet too. Like the wine database.
Maybe it already exists, I haven't found it yet.
