 Users have usermeta just like posts plus you actually can register custom
 taxonomies for users and get almost the same unlimited possibilities as
 with post types. There's a WP_User object and WP_User_Query, custom
 capabilities etc. I do a lot of complex user-related stuff all the time.
 While there are some areas to improve, of course, currently we have pretty
 solid and flexible set of features.
