Well, I think about a year ago we had NO working conflict resolution at 
all and I also think JOSM is the only editor which has that feature 
working reliable. So be happy you can click 300 dialogs :-)

Beside that a semi-automatic conflict resolution for very common cases 
should be implemented. Probably we should add a "send workflow data to 
server" option, so we can get data about the real user needs (for these 
cases where users don't know at all what the would like to have).

We already have rudimentary support (plugin list and version string) for 
such analysis and it influenced development already.
