Hey,<br>
<br>
Why do we set a default editor right from the beginning and do not let<br>
the user decide ?<br>
<br>
I think it depends on the individual which editor fits to whom. I met<br>
several people who know how to work with GUIs but are not familiar with<br>
OSM. All had no problem getting along with JOSM right away and some<br>
where looking for features like "filter", "purge", "export to file/gpx"<br>
and "printing".<br>
<br>
The international student projects on several highschool across Europe<br>
did only use JOSM and it work, too.<br>
<br>
A short description of iD, Potlatch2, JOSM and Merkaartor with links<br>
would be nice.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
