I was not sure the usefulness of categories either, but on the
WikipediaWeekly podcast this week (episode not quite yet released) we
talk about categories at some length. It was Catgraph that finally
brought home the usefulness of categories. Or at the very least,
helped me finally visualize what was going on:

I do encourage you to listen to
WikipediaWeekly.com when the episode
comes out later this week.

My complaint
is a little different: Those who would prohibit placing Main
and Sub Categories in the same article.
Much better would be a recursive category view - I'm sure the devs
will get there eventually, we just need to give them time. Placing
articles in every level of the hierarchy means the top levels are too
big to be useful.
