> It was nearly two years ago now so it's hard to remember and things may well have improved - looking at my branch it looks like I struggled with layer (or should I say style) switching and 

Not sure what was the problem there.

Style switching works as demonstrated my https://maputnik.maplibre.org or https://map-gl-style-switcher.netlify.app/

Finer grained interactivity is also possible, no need to switch out everything.
See https://maputnik.maplibre.org or https://nav.tum.de/view/mi for examples of this.

> I never got geocoding working though I may have given up before attempting that.

Geocoding is not something that maplibre does. We are a renderer, but nominatim has this functionality.

If you are refering to geolocation, that works quite well. IMO better than leaflet given the animation ^^

```js
maplibregl.GeolocateControl({
  positionOptions: {
    enableHighAccuracy: true
  },
  trackUserLocation: true
});
```
 
> I seem to recall that drawing tools were hard as well, or rather than they all wanted to add geometries and missed the ability of the leaflet ones to be able to "draw" a marker instead - not sure if we use that ourselves though.

The tooling in this area certainly has improved.

Back 2y ago, we were still quite new and plugins like https://terradraw.io/ (among others) did not exist (CC @JinIgarashi)

> I think the final straw (which definitely doesn't affect us) was probably when I realised that I was probably never going to be able to include the google tile layers.

That actually is possible, but implementations of this [are not open source](https://linkedin.com/posts/yurik_electric-vehicle-charging-stations-rivian-activity-7353477614587506688-6OnL).
Not a concearn for OSM though 😉

> I did attempt in [#6234 (comment)](https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/6234#issuecomment-3109509258) to enumerate what features we needed for osm.org.

I think @controversial already went into all the cases.
We support all of them. I see no issues on that side.
