Ah! I am extremely in favor of lots of tags as long as there are mechanisms to manage tag spam, and to collectively curate the folksonomy (so you don't end up with two tags for programming language and programming languages, for example). For the former I think tags should have profiles and bios, so we can as a community agree on and articulate what each tag is for. For the spam problem I think the best solution is to be able to vote tags up and down, indicating whether a link supports a tag or not. As long as people can keep their own tags visible to themselves, legitimate disagreements with the community shouldn't cause much friction.
