Wow! These are great, thanks!
Quick review after installing JOSM.
Wow. OK. I can totally see why only 6.9% of users use JOSM for making edits. It's clunky, hard to use, and absolutely daunting for new users. For people making their first contributions, the browser editors are way more user friendly.
That being said, the other half of that statistic is interesting.
All right. JOSM seems to have some pretty passionate users. Thank you for your service. ๐ซก
I'll take some time to learn it.
@paequ2 completely worth to get into it. Josm rocks
Quick review after using JOSM for 2 days:
It's not so bad. It takes a little bit of effort to learn, but definitely has more powerful features. Also, it does feel faster to navigate around the map compared to the web versions. ๐
The intro page was actually helpful to get me started: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Introduction
