CK Forms
★★★
Great Idea... Odd Implementation!

CK Forms
When it comes to forms, Joomla doesn't have much of an option. Most of the components are commercials and the few that are open source, they're absolutely an overkill for average user.

CKForm fills in that gap quite well. I like the native user interface and how it displays the form data. Its a simple form component that will make your life simply simpler.

The only thing that I hate about this wonderful component is jQuery. Joomla uses mooTools so you're forced to download around 70KB of JavaScript whether you need it or not. With CKForms, another 60KB gets added to the page. Its annoying when you spend so much time optimizing images, CSS, and all it takes is a JavaScript file to destroy it all.

I really wish the developer would move away from jQuery and embrace mooTools. That would make this component truly 1.5 Native.
