That is exactly what I would expect! There are few nice themed styles on
the main page, but no such "working" map. It doesn't need to be ugly,
but its functionality for mappers must come first.

MapQuest Open is the only map style I never truly understood - it's a
general purpose map, while others have their purpose stated clear in the
name. What were the reason behind taking it on board, does anybody know?
OpenSeaMap or anything like this would better complete the set of maps
we can use from the main page, this one is just duplicating the purpose
of our default map.
I have no preference which general map should be default - the "beauty"
one or the "working" one - but two "beauty" maps and no "working" one
makes no sense to me. When I act as an end-user of OSM, I want better
search and additional services (routing is what I miss the most), not
the nicer rendering. When I act as a mapper, I want to simply see all my
tags.
