Let's say I want the combo box to provide the user with auto

if the user types in a category name that does not exist, then they
will be automatically prompted to create the category. This will not
work with a popup button.
A more typical UI is to have a pop-up menu with the known categories
listed and an 'Other...' item which prompts for a new name, which is
then added to the menu. It's less surprising to the user since the
prompt only appears when they deliberately choose it, as hinted by the
trailing ellipsis. In your UI, a poor typist is going to get very
frustrated by the constant interruption that they didn't ask for.
Combo-boxes are really pretty evil.
