I'll probably need to think about taking that into consideration... :) If I only used categories as tags, a flat structure would probably be best. But already early on I used them also for combining some of the tags into a single "feed" through a hierarchy. Most of the time I use "Manage Categories" to place a newly created category in its correct place in the hierarchy. If this could be done when creating the category, that would be great. Although, one would have to be careful with typing -- or maybe "missing" parent categories should not be automatically created (to avoid unwanted categories from typos). Sometimes I rename a category (this is not just fixing typos). I practically never delete a category. I also don't create new categories that often, because I seem to have a mental problem with having the categories in the wrong place... This might be another reason to just think of them as tags, and start using them much more.
