One of the leveling-up tools we use locally, for new players, is for us to walk around the outside of a bunch of stuff a couple of times, so each of us has collected a bunch of keys. Then we nuke it, link up the circle around the outside, go to a portal inside, and make links from there to every point on the circle, then nuke that, and do it again, until we're out of keys. You can easily make 100k points in an hour with shenanigans like that, but it requires a lot of care in key management, and that's why keylockers are pretty useful: they seem to keep their colors, so you know the red one is for keys around your house, the yellow one is for commute up to cap hill, or whatever. With capsules, it's hard to keep track of which is which and then the keys get all mixed up and you're fumbling around trying to find the ones you wanted. Totally irritating. It's not so bad if you can just have one empty capsule that you use for the operation you're on because you remember which it was and where it is in your inventory. But over time, that's not organized, and the capsule names are totally not useful.
We keep hoping some day they'll let us rename capsules.
