I do. I don't use the tags column, because it's automatically populated with the crap that the publisher thinks is relevant. Rather than going through every book and changing those tags for every book, I just use my custom column for the books that *I* want to add tags to. For instance...I have a collection called "Darkover" that has books set in the Darkover universe, no matter who they were written by. In Calibre, in my custom column is where that is defined. If I look at the built-in "Tags" column, it has multiple entries, none of which I want to use. I know that I can edit the tags manually, but then if I do a metadata download, I will have all of the crap tags back.
Why can't you accept that other people have different wants and needs than you do? ...and please don't say that your wants and needs and workflow are better or more important than mine. Aren't you one of the people that are constantly railing against Amazon because they don't respect the wants and needs of their customers? How are you any different? It's a good thing that you don't work for Kobo, or we would be completely locked in to whatever you have decided is the best way for a reader to work.
