I'm trying it out now, Kenneth. Seems like overkill when we also have our labels. "Seems" is the operative word because I just started using the categories. Then I thought maybe I should adjust my Inbox type, which I've had at default for a few years, to better work with the categories. I probably should only tamper with one thing at a time.
So you are "used to it," Kenneth, but do you like the categories?
