Ah. No. JOSM standard is not really good. I like the idea of your optical 
interface. This would probably be helpful for core functions as well.

Currently JOSM core has many functions nobody uses as they are hidden very 
well. So don't try to orient on JOSM too much. Orient on good user 
interface and design. JOSM will and should change when possible. Thought 
JOSM wont change totally, so a little bit orientation is not bad.

Use Inkscape for design, rendering large images and doing the small image 
using gimp? This gives you advantage of both worlds.
