Au contraire. Whatever is used, is the law, or is going to become the

Nope. If the author doesn't want to implement some feature, he might avoid its
implementation. Surely that means his editor won't be used for working with this
feature, but that not a problem: still, it can be used for working with all
other features.
This were true if we had 30 editors, but we have three. We have to bend
over to those who maintain them.
Again, on the contrary. We are introducing laws aimed at attracting
beginners. Clearly, the choice of beginners is going to be Potlatch.
Hence we are limited by what is available at the moment.
And let's not forget the popularity contest. Last time I checked, each
of the three editors had an equal share.
I agree.
However, mapping public transport now is complicated as well, so I personally do
not expect beginner to start from public transport.
Part of the mess is exactly the lack of a sensible and well documented
(wiki page!) standard. My aim is to allow semi-beginners to be able to
map at least the simplest things.
Instead, s/he might (and probably will) start from POIs, since they're very
visible and extreme easy to
map, or Bing-drawing.
This may be surprising, but in many areas the map is pretty full. In my
area almost everything is mapped. If somebody likes editing OSM, they
might just as well turn to mapping bus lines, with some help from us.
