Untrue.  Each of the OSM editors has strengths and weaknesses - it's 
simply a case of finding the best tool for the job.  In some cases that 
might be JOSM; in some cases it might be something completely different 
(StreetComplete?).  JOSM isn't the best at everything - it has a user 
interface out of the fifth circle of hell and seems intent on dragging 
the user straight back there.  It fails with some stuff that is "basic" 
to e.g. Potlatch (mapping with waypoints recorded with information in 
them as you go for example).  See questions such as 
https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/7675/josm-is-it-possible-to-convert-an-individual-waypoint-in-a-gpx-file-to-a-node 
for a bit more discussion on that.
