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.
