And along those lines, based on the constructive criticism, the

I don't think that Justin is advocating "pretty", he's advocating
usable. If highways are labeled "I 85" sometimes and "I-85" sometimes
and "I:85" sometimes, that doesn't make things easier for
contributors. If roads are too thick and merge into a blob, that
doesn't help contributors either.
Some of these issues, such as the labels, are data quality issues
too and could be addressed in the actual OSM database.
