Typically, I create footprints either in PCB itself, or using a script that generates a variant of a standard footprint (i.e. an N-pin DIP package). But I often find the need to tweak the .fp file anyway, especially to get the pin numbers in the right order. For viewing footprint info, I almost always do that in pcb using the "report" command.
