I've been toying with this thought since 1.2, but it seems all the more relevant with 1.6/2.0.
Categories aren't really categories anymore. Here's the thought: Each item fits into ONE category, just as an HTML file might fit into ONE folder (taxonomy). But in WP (especially with on-the-fly category additions), it's really more like tags (folksonomy). Look at Flickr's tags and look at the traditional directory/file taxonomy structure. In my opinion WP's categories far better resemble tags than taxonomy. Basic point: I feel that, especially with "tag" becoming a more widely used term, WP's admin ui should refer to categories as tags.
