See the documentation:
I use Category quite a bit and I've run into very few
problems with taxonomy-dependent modules. In fact, my compatibility problems
have generally stemmed from my custom code not using the taxonomy modules in a
very safe way, which then doesn't work when I moved to Categories. However, that
was pretty easy to fix.

If I install the Category module am I giving up the
ability to support the use of any other modules that rely on taxonomy (or even
books)? The module that comes to my mind at this time is location because
I'd like my users to supply their zip code on account creation to which I will
use the location module (and the other associated modules) to create
geo-buddygroups.
