Richard, you have great merit in the OSM ecosystem, and all my respect for your notable contribution to OSM, but you really can’t compare 2007 (a bunch of mappers having to develop yet tags for almost everything) with 2019 (a complex tagging scheme for many things is already established). > > I don't follow that iD has any particular status because of its default > location on the edit tab: JOSM arguably has more "heft" because its bulk > editing abilities allow people to impose new tags by force of number, not to > mention you 'orrible lot forever bombarding the poor newbie to use JOSM or > else. ;) most new mappers use iD, I don’t think you can argue about this, and most mappers aren’t subscribed to any channel where they would get such advice to use JOSM ;-) Cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
