"Sure, tags are clearly better than folder trees. But would you tag correctly 1000 bookmarks? Or 10000?"
I would if it were easier to do so.
The extra 2 seconds to do it is the bottleneck, so trimming that is the solution. When I click the star or hit ctrl-d in Chrome (I'm sure it's the same in Firefox), the title of the bookmark is in focus. I almost never change that, so that's useless.
Put the tag field in focus, and make tags autocomplete. That'd put me most of the way there.
Of course you're right -- prepopulating the field with tags other people used would be a much further step.
