It would be great if Lightroom could have a more robust tag system, specifically User Created tags. Often I use other modifiers and it would be great if I could add tags manually.

Would be great to hear more details as to what tags you need and what could help with the UI here.  As @Jim Wilde mentions, Keywords are the way to add custom tag data, and there are other helpful metdata fields as well.  However, it may well be that you have additional metadata in mind -- if so, please let us know!

When you say "tags" do you mean Keywords, or something else?

 

Keywords can easily be added manually using the Keywords panel. In the Lightroom Desktop app, click on the Keyword/Tag icon at the bottom of the right-hand vertical toolbar. In LrMobile use the "Info & Rating" panel to add keywords.
