I too tried UTW yesterday and it behaves exactly as you describe
below. In fact, I rather thought it was the most elegantly
constructed plugin I have come across.

I think the current implementation of categories is perfect, and there

Tags should be implemented as an optional, additional method of
tagging posts. Those who have already invested lots of time in their
categories wouldn't have to use them, whereas new users and those that
want the feature could benefit from the advantages of being able to
use categories to structure their site and tags to describe their
posts.
I would like to tags implemented as they are in del.icio.us. You would
effectively have a text box beneath the post editor and then beneath
that a space seperated list of all of your tags. Clicking on a tag
would insert it into the tags field (using javascript) and you would
also be able to add as many tags as you wanted on the fly.
My problem is that I'm not a developer so I'm relying on someone else
hearing my pleas and implementing this. Yesterday I tried out the
Ultimate tag warrior, but it was overly complex and didn't make sense.
I think tagging functionality can be implemented in a more simple and
effective manner if it was in the core.
Cheers - Stuart.

So are you also saying that categories should be opened up in
that you
would not be required to classify a post under a given category?
If WP were to go the "turn it on or off" route, that'd make sense.
In fact, it would have to be that way if there were the ability to
turn off categorization.
I still wonder, though, if there's enough widespread interest in
categories and tagging together to justify adding the functionality.
It'd be handy for some of us, but enough to justify the work?
