I do and did - But visualizing/hinting common bugs/problems might help avoiding them. And sometimes i fix little things in the middle of a huge crowd and starting to fix bugs in the validator may then take hours - But sometimes one pans around on the map and sees unconnected ways which is an important bug for me (i want to have routing) and quickly fixes them.

The only missing thing are the arrows on every street. I know i can turn them on again but i'd just like to make a point about visualizing. Typically the arrows indicated quite well if streets were connected. On a crossing both ways would have at least a single arrow towards the common node. Now the arrows get removed completely which is a good thing on one hand but i would prefer a second mode which made arrows on both ends. Example: O-OO ^ | | | This would even more indicate a correct connection between ways. Why? It would look exactly the same even if there are two overlaying nodes in the middle. An even more interesting mode would be to make the first and last nodes arrows on a way different from the others so one could see where a way is split up instead of selecting the way and detect it by the highlighting I put arrows in because it would not necessarily be arrows but some end/start of segment indicator - probably just some change in line thickness or something. We could introduce some other colors/sizes for nodes (i.e. end-node, multi-way-node). That would solve your suggestion.
