There is actually a way to have the tags available come up in your posting interface. I know, because I have it set that way. Alas, I couldn't tell you how to do it exactly, but I think it involved getting a script from Greasemonkey. It has made the tags function a heck of a lot more useful to me. It even brings up a community's tags when I'm posting to that community. It's awesome. I would wholeheartedly approve of a function like it in DW. The other thing that I'm pretty sure I got from a Greasemonkey script is the ability to expand comments without leaving the main comments page--it is so annoying, when there's a conversation in the comments on a post with lots of comments, to click on it and have to wait for it to load in a new page. The script gives me the option to open the comment thread up without changing pages, just adding the comments to the page already open. It's awesome. It would be cool if DW could do the same thing. I don't know how easy it would be to adapt the existing Greasemonkey scripts to fit DW, not knowing anything about coding or whatever. It might be easier to start from scratch. But if you need a starting place, that would be one you could use.
