Well I find it encouraging that people are using OSM otherwise what is the point of us making it? The fact they are too stupid to work a satnav is probably true as most members of the crowd are unfortunately idiots. The mapdust folks just need to take that into account by stopping people raising bugs with no descriptions or vague bug types.
Despite that I have picked up a couple of missing turn restrictions and some missing speed limits in my area so I think it has value even if you have to search for it.
