 The average user has to use a custom post type plugin like Custom Post
 Types UI to create custom post types. However, this presents a number of
 issues. First, from what I've experienced anyway, if you disable the
 plugin after creating the custom post types then your custom post pages
 stop working. Second, custom post types will not work with the native
 "category" or "tags" taxonomies without customizing the functions.php file
 to have them support this.

 I think with the widespread adoption and usefulness of custom post types
 and taxonomies that WordPress should offer some native features to allow
 for their creation. At the very least, WordPress should automatically
 allow custom post types to be attached to the native "category" and "tags"
 taxonomies so that users don't have to rely on researching how to do this
 with code.

 I am not sure whether to file this under a bug or a feature request, but
 please feel free to move it to whatever you think best suits it.
