On the other hand, I am in doubt, - perhaps, people invested a lot of time and labor in clicking these hundreds and hundreds of nodes, to make a nice looking map, and I am not sure if I am doing the right thing with the tool SHIFT+Y (Simplify Way). Maybe this excessive number of nodes is negligible for the database and rendering?
This is the reason I suggest against using the simplify functionality. Just because some detail level is not to your liking you sort of "tell off" those mappers who invested a lot of time putting that details in the first place when deleting it.
There are special situations where it can be useful, but in case of "hand-drawn" data mostly it is fine to go forward with a handful of additional nodes. And don't worry about the size of the data. Those few nodes don't do much harm (we have 4 billions already).
