Quick review after installing JOSM.

Wow. OK. I can totally see why only 6.9% of users use JOSM for making edits. It's clunky, hard to use, and absolutely daunting for new users. For people making their first contributions, the browser editors are way more user friendly.

That being said, the other half of that statistic is interesting.

In 2024 it was used by 6.9% users, but they made 59.1% of all edits.

All right. JOSM seems to have some pretty passionate users. Thank you for your service. 🫡

I'll take some time to learn it.
