Many of the same folks who would like custom columns for collections have let their tags build from metadata downloading. For the most part it really isn't a question of workflow, and bracketing the 100s of tags they have would be more work then it's worth.

My tags are basic genre or series too and were created with an eye toward collections. However, many people enjoy the wide variety of tags they get from downloading metadata and would love a separate way to identify the creation of collections or directories. I can see custom columns being a big asset for many users.
