 You would be correct, if you would've said it about 6 months ago.

Well, that's a happy surprise!  Thanks for the heads up.

 Actually I'm not surprised. I think most power users will use JOSM, so 
 more changesets are the result. Would be interesting to get the rate of 
 changed elements per changeset for each editor. That would distinguish 
 power users from minor edits.

 Also nice would be the created_by count in OSM data. Due to silently 
 dropping them, JOSM's usage is also easy to see :-)
