The main reason is i prefer C++ and have a small experience over qt library. 
The version 4 has a very good painting engine (i think svg-like), and in the 
future i'd like to fork a full integrate version in the KDE environment (dcop 
and so on).
Howewer it's always free code so the projects can share ideas and code! (i 
cannot say now if i'll get the time to make it a reality)

Yes, but why do not enforce database constraints to avoid duplicates or 
segments linking to unexistent nodes and so on?
I imported osmplanet in a postgresql db, and noted those inconsistency due to 
constraints i applyed to tables.
