If you don't want any changes, simply don't update or use the 
unmaintained merkaartor.

Few years ago the common opinion about JOSM in mailinglists and forums 
was "hard-to-use". Today it is "to be recommended even to beginners". So 
our approach actually seems to be appreciated. And we can't keep 
everything as it was when we make improvements. There must be changes and 
a few of them will break old habits.

What I can't understand is that even developers like you or Maarten have a 
lot less flexibility than my father who is about 70. He simply accepts the 
changes and goes on with the new keys (for him the <b> and <w> change was 
the only really relevant one).
