Captain, In my view tags are of immense value, especially for building relationships and responding to the nature of the knowledge you are recording. Because of this value one can over use the tag space, pollute it with too many. What I do is freely use tags especially with the new here button however as soon as the use of a tag is systematic, for example used to assign one of N Projects, a domain like Home/Work, I move it to a field or another method such as Jeds GenTags.
Tags are not always the best tool because it is not strait forward to categorise them and respond differently, for example telling the difference between a project tag and a status tag. With status tags you need to remove one or more when you add another. It's much simpler to use a field that can have only one status value. I suggest, Use tags as much as you need, but move them elsewhere once you can systamatise them.
