The components are divided up into various libraries. Most of the common stuff is in "devices"
When you get a few mins to spare, use the icon or menu item to place a component, then click on the "by lib browser" button in the requester. As it says, that will allow you to browse through the various libs and get an idea as to what is where. You soon get used to it, and once you do, you can simply select things from the lists.
