It has been bad for a long time.  That is no reason to make it worse.

Not off-topic at all.  You're proposing flattening out amenity, therefore
pointing
out that amenity is already overloaded is entirely on topic.

I type tags rather than clicking them.  And, like you, I hate typing more
than
I have to.  What happens with a decent UI is I type a couple of letters and
the
editor narrows down the list of choices in the drop-down to match what I've
typed, I can then scroll through a small number of items with the arrow key
and
use tab to select the correct one.  All done through the keyboard.  Except
when there's a really long list because the key or value has been flattened
to the point of being severely overloaded.

I remain unconvinced that your preferences for tagging would actually make
anybody's life easier.  Not even your own.
