As things stand I find the Craft section rather useless because of the user interface. All you get is one large code blob. The Code Catacombs are much nicer because you get to post both code and textual commentary. Someone mentioned this a while ago, but I can't find the reference (and I don't want to beat up on Super Search too much).

In the commentary you can wax lyrical about how the code came about as well as any other useful tidbits that may improve the chance of being hit by a search and/or the chance that someone will understand what the code can do without have to read it in detail. And then of course you don't necessarily want or need all that verbiage in the code itself when it comes to downloading it.

There seems to some some level of redundancy or overlap between the two sections, so in light of the way you get to present your stuff, the catacombs definitely has my favour.
