It's easy to say that when you are behind a DSL pipe. It all sounds very generous and inclusive: "We're not discriminating against anyone, we support all languages!" when at the same time you're happily discriminating against anyone who happens to have a slower Internet connection. Even on a run-off-the-mill German DSL connection with 2 MBit/s, it takes 25 seconds to even download JOSM, and many rural areas in Germany still have nothing better than 384 kBit/s available (making this a two minute download). That may be ok if you download it once a week but it isn't ok if you have to download it because you want to make quick edit, and that's where I want to get. I want to make it possible to have JOSM behind the "Edit" button on the OSM web page, so that no matter what computer I'm on, no matter whether anyone has bothered to install JOSM on that computer, clicking "Edit" will run JOSM for me.
