Oh yeah, good old modal editing :) It's like using vim. I found this
horribly tedious. In potlatch, left-click does everything! (Honestly, I much
prefer Potlatch in this area. But it may be because I use dvorak keyboard,
and a/s/d are not near each other. I tried remapping the keys, didn't work
for some reason.)

You can work around it by merging a node and a way, then deleting the
superfluous node. I don't think you can merge two ways though.

Same.

Another area where Potlatch is smarter - T does both functions, depending on
whether the way is closed or not. Would be nice if either Potlatch/JOSM had
a "curvify way" feature, interpolating a bezier curve through a series of
points.

Yeah, I wish potlatch had that.

Nifty.
