Parroting myself : I agree with Eladkse that categories should be displayed in the editing window like they were in the old RTE and like they still are in Monobook. It’s a pain how the new RTE’s source mode moves categories around and adds so many     and      tags, over and above the ones we’ve already put in.

I do not understand why, since most people who will be using source mode would also be perfectly comfortable editing in Monobook, the source mode cannot be made to display categories in the editing window just like in Monobook, and without a category module in the siderail. If it were made to work with cats in source mode just like in Monobook, the siderail cat module would not be necessary.
