No, absolutely not.  99.99% of Linux users should use their vendor's
kernel.  It has undergone a LOT more stability testing than whatever you
would compile off of kernel.org.

You should only use a kernel.org kernel if you need some feature or
driver that your vendor's kernel does not provide, or, obviously, if you
are hacking the kernel.  If you go this route you should attempt to
build a binary package for your distribution, then install that.  This
way you can post the packages somewhere, and other people who need a
custom kernel for their own purposes can just download your packages vs.
repeating all that work.
