If your site uses a few custom post types and those custom post types are viewable in the WordPress menu area, your admin panel can get messy quickly; making it hard to find categories or tags you actually want to include in your menus.

More and more, I find my web browser’s tab bar taken up with applications. I have my Gmail, Google Calendar, Asana task sheet, Twitter, WordPress website(s), Dropbox, and Facebook page open so that I can easily move between each of those applications, syncing, posting, checking, and being notified.
