Is 2.0 membership/roles overkill for me?

>From the start, I went with asp.net 2.0's membership/roles framework.
I thought it would be useful but now it just seems like a very
fragmented non extensive setup. Every one talks about implement a
custom membership or role provider to do certain things that the stock
setup doesn't do. Then you ask or try to find good examples and
realize no one knows how to do any of this. If you are developing
software on your own, you can easily tangle up days/weeks just on this
stuff. It isn't worth it so I'm thinking of ditching it all together.

After fighting with trying to get a custom role going, I created a
table and just load up into a Session List<all values for that
user's role. It's fast and I have complete control. I've made the
role small so that admin of it is very basic. I did all of this in a
couple of days with little effort. I'd still be fighting how to
connect my custom asp.net role with the database if I'd gone that
route.

To complete the circle, I'm going to manually login users and handle
account creation. I'll actually be able to add user contact
information to the sign up process. I already have the forms from the
login and account creation wizard controls. So here's my question, if
you don't have a need for an elaborate membership or role setup, is
going it alone a better choice?

Thanks,
John
