I am very new to OSM (2 weeks!) and I have now switched to JOSM and I use that exclusively now as it is SOOO much better. Having said that, deleting stuff by accident is not particular to iD. I have deleted by accident with JOSM by having something selected which I am not aware of. Fortunately I didn't upload the changeset but it was a big heads up for me and now I am in the habit of selecting an empty area before I do anything just to be sure I don't have something selected unexpectedly.
iD is a nice way to get more people involved perhaps as it is easy to use and requires no set up but perhaps it is a little too easy encouraging people to edit before they are actually aware of the impact they can have?
