I'm not quite sure why, but I really don't like JOSM.
In my case I think it boils down to:
1) Complicated, idiosyncratic user interface. My brain just doesn't
have space to learn new interfaces. Everything needs to behave the
same.
2) Fragility. I tried fiddling with a plug in once and everything
just broke.
3) Poor performance. (On my environment anyway.)
Performance is better than in the past (quadbuckets, varous other
improvements, ...), but there are still places when JOSM is slow,
especially once you have hundred of thousands or even millions of
primitives loaded (even if you work only on small part of them at once).
But Potlatch is much slower, at least for me, once there are several
thousand primitives in view it will become quite unuseable.
4) General preference for online tools (so I don't need to
synchronise
environments across different computers)
I am not sure for newer potlatch, but the few times I was forced to use
it (why the hell there is undelete api available only for Potlatch and
not as XML?), it had not remembered any settings (so I have for example
to turn off the photo underlay again and again and again ...)

It looks like a fantastically powerful tool, and I wish all those who
use it the very best. But I'm probably one of those few people who
actually moved from JOSM *to* Potlatch.
