To add to Steve Vickers' remarks: Category theory is definitely out
of the closet. A substantial number of the questions on MathOverflow
involve categorical concepts and many of them are questions about
category theory itself, not merely applications. The n-category café
blog and its ancillary n-labs has lots of category stuff, both
applications to physics and about category theory itself.
