I'll admit that Tumblr's incompetence is occasionally kind of funny, because there are aspects of Dreamwidth I wouldn't have even thought to be grateful for if they weren't screwed up on Tumblr.

I had to rely on memory because a) something they did awhile back made it so my previously used tags only sometimes pop up, and it seems as if it simply "forgot" most of them, and b) the use of site-wide tags in place of a functional search system is the whole reason I have specialized tags for organization on Tumblr.

I don't know if it's everyone's experience, but for me, Dreamwidth's tagging function remembers every tag I've ever used and I can just type the first few letters and click on the correct tag every. single. time. And the tags don't have to be specialized to avoid the attention of the entire fandom, because they're not a band-aid for the search function. "The tags work" is not something I would have always thought to be grateful for, but...
