[joomla] User profiles

I was wondering what people use for user profiles these days.

Back with Joomla 1.0 I used Community Builder and it was great.   
However, as Joomla has advanced, I was more and more turned off from 
Community Builder because CB maintains compatibility with Joomla 1.0, 
Mambo, and 1.5  - as such they re-implement a lot of features that are 
in Joomla 1.5 and now 1.6 because the other platforms did not have those 
features.

In the end, it just gets too confusing where CB is overriding Joomla and 
where it is working with Joomla.

I recently went a looked at CB again and see that it's features have 
advanced greatly...but it still has that cross platform issue.

JomSocial is another possibility, but it also suffers from waaaay to 
many features.


Are there any simple user profile components for Joomla?  Ones that only 
deal with user registration/profile and don't try to do thousands of 
other little things?
