Use what exists if it fits your use case. If not, at least see what you can learn from them before running out and building your own. I've often considered building my own because nothing works 100% to my saturation, but I can get by well enough that it probably isn't worth the effort.

If I created my own version, I'd store it in JSON. That makes it easier to edit and any updates to how an individual block works or what HTML it outputs will be much easier to deal with.
