 One thing that continuously bugs me in WP is the user management/profile
 fields, particularly with BP added.

 A lot has been done in the past releases, but there is apparently still no
 easy way to quickly customize user profiles and signup forms accordingly
 beyond the contact methods (without a plugin).

 Also, the parallel existence of WP profiles and the BuddyPress X-profiles
 seems redundant and is confusing, in my opinion. User management/Profiles
 as such aren't only a feature of a social layer. I believe this should be
 a core feature, not a plugin-feature...

 And since the frontend has received some admin love wih the admin bar, I
 believe that there should also (perhaps as a second step) be a simple way
 to allow user profile editing in the frontend.
