"It works for me"
"It doesn't work for me." Your argument is also just an anecdote.
Personally, I love OsmAnd because of the power features. In the best sense "it works for me". However, I would recommend OM to not-so-nerdy friends and family as it is just simpler to use and understand due to the fewer features.
