As I understand, some users (especially who are novices or rare visitors) will prefer to see the Categories
page by default.
Other users (especially who are frequent visitors) will prefer to see the Latest
page by default.
Some users will prefer to see a particular category page by default.
I think it it important to have such option on per-user level because the Latest
page is sometimes incomprehensible and strange for new visitors as they are out of context yet and they definitely will prefer to see the total forum structure at a glance.
On the other side, the Categories
page is inconvenient for the most of the frequent visitors.

I’m still very much interested in this. I have it set to Categories to benefit new users, but I wish I could have it set to Latest for myself.
