Comment (by tar.gz):

 Thanks for the great feedback :)

 I also think that the category listing adds too much noise. I wouldn't
 want to be welcomed by such complexity each time I visit the dashboard.

 There are two other details that deserve to be mentioned:

 * In the mockup, the title field has a larger font size, in order to
 indicate hierarchy (and it makes it more tempting to start typing).
 * Since we have sufficient space in the tags field, we can put there the
 indication that they must be separated by commas - a useful hint, since
 that field does not auto-complete the tags (yet?).

 Regarding the implementation: I would use the {{{placeholder}}} attribute,
 and keep the existing JavaScript as a fallback. See
