this will level out a lot of fine distinctions and give a lot of power and
responsibility to the preset makers. The main problem I see is that one
word is often not enough to give a tag definition (and to make distinctions
from other tags). Having one or two phrases would improve the situation
already a lot.

Anyway FWIW, most data is still edited with JOSM (2014: 78,5%)
