You should be aware of the drawbacks:
a) Plugin is marked as "bad external" in JOSM
b) It is not translated
c) Core changes aren't incorporated into it when they appear
d) Shortcuts won't be listed in overview and thus also very likely be used
    by others very fast.
e) There is no automatic history handling for older JOSM versions.
