[josm-dev] JOSM UI design

I've taken into account the feedback given, and done a version 2 of my 
UI design suggestion for JOSM:

I'm still not completely certain about the Addition interface; comments 
on that are particularly welcome. The current plan has various 
advantages, such as staying modeless, entering long ways is just 
click-click-click, easy addition of single nodes and so on, but people 
might think there's a better way.

Is there any possibility of getting some indication from the JOSM dev 
team as to whether this unified scheme stands any chance of being 
implemented? :-) I do think it's more consistent with other apps and 
both more usable and more learnable than the current modal system.

(Note: a user called "Toralf" added some comments to the Talk page. If 
he's reading: I've commented on your comments, please revisit that page :-)
