Just install it. It is the right thing to do.

One of the first things we made part of our default installation. Absolutely essential.

Seems so basic! Really makes category selection much easier for clients.

I used it on the last 4-5 projects I have been working on and have absolutely fallen in love with it. Added height constraints from page 6 of the forums and Tim’s update and it is top notch. Would give a client a site with out it

By the time you’ve explained to clients they have to use shift and command in a multi-select box they’ve already forgotten how to do it :)

A great add-on for better usability of EE’s control panel.

A must have. I fixed a JS error that occurred when you weren’t showing at categories tab. I’ve pushed it to GitHub.

Don’t underestimate the difference it makes to convert the standard multi-select category box into checkboxes, especially when giving the site to less savvy clients. This is excellent, and another of my default installs.
