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.
