Agree. Please see my suggestion for making tagging much simpler for the vast majority of users.
Yes. This is how gThumb and F-Spot do tag autocompletion, and it's much faster to tag many images with those apps than with XnView MP, using the keyboard.
A nice option would be to call Google's free Vision API and automatically detect objects in the image. The API is very, very simple to use - just one HTTP call to https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/images:annotate, and you get a JSON output with the entities detected in the image.

When opened, there should be option select one or even multiple categories by mouse but way more efficient would be an additional system to simply enter the names of the categories this file should be associated with. For example: If I have a picture file showing my wife, my kids in year 2010 during vacation in Italy, I would like to have a categories field where I can simply type: "wife, kids, 2010, vacation, Italy" and the tagging system should recognise [sic] the comma seperated [sic] words as tags. If the tags do not exist yet, then the system should create them. This way it would be much easier to tag a large number of files with multiple tags.
