Hi Matteo,
Thanks for raising this issue! From my (user) perspective, I totally
agree that QuickOSM is much more usable than the current core OSM
functionality (which I cannot get to work properly at all). I cannot
comment on the dev perspective too much though but it does not seem
like the current OSM core plugin is the best technical solution
either.
I also agree that the mainstream solution is not quite usable to me,
and reducing
duplications is always good.
So, if there are no good technical reasons to avoid this, I'd prefer
to have QuickOSM
in core, and current functions hidden or removed.
Thanks.
For me QuickOSM has basic usability issues that should be addressed
before we consider this. e.g. no OK/Cancel/Help buttonbar. Also no
clear button in quick query.
Also in some ways it is even more hard to use than the built in
offering of QGIS - QuickOSM requires detailed domain knowledge of the
OSM schema which novice users simply won't have.
I would like to see a bunch of presets available (like we have for
roads and buildings in InaSAFE - see
http://inasafe.org/en/user-docs/application-help/openstreetmap_downloader.html)
which let you select a feature type and get it downloaded, a qml style
applied and have the layer ready to use in QGIS.
I believe QuickOSM would be a good platform to do this on but in my
mind as it stands it does not yet make a good replacement.
Regards
Tim
