Whoever told you that is wrong... If you know how to program stuff and you can modify any source you get then you may have a use in getting the source code of a package, or even if compiling yourself gives you a functionality you need that is not in the precompiled packages.
But if you are just going to use a program, plain and simple, it's better if you get a precompiled package for which you dont need dev libs or anything else, and the results, will be the same as compiling yourself.
