  Right, but gmail also implements the tag feature in a non-traditional manner. Tags in the traditional sense are a discoverable tool not an organisational tool (think youtube). But, gmail makes them useful by bringing the illusion forward that it is a type of folder -- it's just that your email can now exist in many folders instead of one.

  So, I would agree with you and say that if tags were to be chosen over folders then it should be done in the same or similar manner to gmail. I would consider that a compromise.

  When I moved to gmail years ago I was frustrated that they didn't have folders and only offered tags. Now that I have been using it for a long time, tags have really grown on me. It allows me to organize single items into multiple groups since I can assign multiple tags.

  So, while I understand the desire for folders/categories, I would prefer to see tags.

  If it helps, I made the same recommendation recently to another application that I use every day and one of the responses from another user was for tags as well as or instead of folders. So, I'd say both, despite the fact I find tags absolutely useless at organising anything.

  Personally groups, I find tags annoying but I can only speak for myself and I'm only one person in an expanding organisational obsessed population. So, if you want to make everyone happy, probably both :)

  Would people prefer groups or tags or both?
