I can do that. What I mean is that the tags category will remain even if the column is removed, but the other categories would disappear.

I'm big on user options. What about three states? Visible main/tag, visible tag only, and completely invisible?

First, I am not sure what you are suggesting.
Second: one difficulty to deal with is that there must be some way to set the options, and having this interface introduces its own complexity. It is sometimes easier for people fielding questions to limit the application's behavior. In addition, the extra options clutter the GUI, adding complexity.
I left out a piece of information that is pertinent to this discussion. The changes being made include the ability for users to create their own tag browser categories containing selected items. For example, one can create a 'genres' category containing selected tags, a 'favorite authors' category containing the obvious, etc. The limitation is that a user-defined category can contain only one type of information (only one of tags, authors, series, or publishers). These 'user-defined categories' will always be displayed, but their contents are filtered so that they show only values (tags, authors, etc) that can actually be selected (think restrictions). Does this change any of the responses? (Yes, my manual-writing ability is being challenged here.
I hope I am reasonably clear.)
