I've seen excess nodes created because people convert GPS traces to ways also...

The downside to this is the simplify function can remove too many
nodes and reduce smoothing where and when it's actually needed.

JOSM doesn't highlight errors well enough most of the time in my
opinion, I've wasted a fair bit of time trying to track down problems
that turned out to be false positives.

Also when you choose to zoom to a problem, it shows the entire area
instead of zooming to the actual spot where there is a problem.
