 Hi,

 choosing categories is still annoying if you have a couple of them.
 Scrolling and checking is needed. Tags are simpler to work with, but I
 think it would be extremely handy to use a category cloud / tag cloud to
 choose the categories/tags for a post/page. The category/tag cloud could
 be displayed in the metabox or, preferably, for space reasons, in a
 thickbox.

 I used milestone 2.7 as there is so much admin work going on anyway and
 I'm not sure if the feature list is already definitive for the release.
