Would it be sarcastic of me to admire your skill at taking offense over comments not directed at you?
No one has been sarcastic at you, we were laughing at
ourselves, the supposed experts, for missing a feature that we, of all people should have known about.

(2) On top of which, it seems that you are being willfully obtuse, just to create an occasion for your sarcasm. I'm glad there's a command-line option for listing categories, and I appreciate your pointing it out. But it's quite obvious that I was talking about having an option to create a list of tags from within Calibre's GUI. (Indeed, I almost wrote "from within Calibre's GUI" in place of "in Calibre itself" in my last post, but I thought, "No need for that; surely it's obvious what I'm talking about.") Command-line tools are not perfect substitutes for GUI implementations, even if some folks (you—and, in fact, me) are comfortable with command-line tools.
So I will clarify my suggestion and stand by it: It would be nice if, within Calibre's GUI, there were a simple means to export a list of tags.

Good of you to clarify your question. It's a shame you couldn't do that
before attacking people for providing an answer that did not meet your unstated qualifications.
We deal with solutions here, not philosophies.
Attitude matters a lot here. Willfully antagonistic behavior does not encourage members and users to volunteer their time to try to help you. Nor does it encourage the developer (should he see this thread, which he probably will) to respect your input and add a new feature.
Goodbye.
