Good idea, Mikhail. And thanks for the opportunity to join the discussion.
The arrangement wasn't bad but any refinement is welcome. The greatest drawback was that there was often overlap,so that posts were not always placed in the best location. The result was that, on one hand, you weren't always exactly sure where to look if you're searching for a particular topic; on the other hand, if you were simply browsing to pass the time of day, you were sometimes surprised to find a topic discussed where it was.
You new categories might resolve this (or might make it worse). You can't entirely stop people posting in inappropriate places unless you patrol the fora rigorously, something which is time-consuming and authoritarian.
I sometimes wonder whether it would help if there was another level of topics, for example under both Technical issues and Learn how, for (for example) Narration and audio matters, Video and screen grabbing, Image matters, Layout and formating, Animation and transitions, Linking, Publishing (etcetera)
