 * I’m using this under WP 4.0. It seems to work, but I’d love to find a better 
   alternative to it, since 2-year-old plugins give me the heebeegeebees. Any ideas?

 * Seconding this!
 * Not sure why something like this isn’t core WP functionality. Would be great.
   At least it’s still functional.

 * Your best alternative is probably List Category Posts: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/list-category-posts/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/list-category-posts/)
 * It’s flexible, robust and updated regularly. Good luck!
