Just to throw my 2 cents in here...
We should remember that someone has to invent a widget before it can
pass or fail the 'user test'.
After all, it's not like all the Cocoa widgets existed before Cocoa.
Apple has made great strides with their widgets - to be not only
functional but also intuitive.
This isn't to say that skill is solely owned by Apple; just that they
have _years_ of practice at it.
So I say if you can't find a standard widget that fits your needs (or a
good combination of standard widgets), then by all means create your
own (thats why Apple has docs on it you know).
And who knows, if it works out good then later on it might end up
becoming a built in widget.

Use the standard Cocoa widgets or your software will suck.
What's your problem, are you saying that NeXT implemented every
possible widget anyone would ever need?
About 90% of all custom widget's I've seen is either someone
re-inventing the wheel, or is just plain ugly (when it could've been
done cleaner with standard widgets).
