very true. I always did tend to better stay open source even if it hurts 
more, but this time I noticed that I switched to josm because I simply 
wanted to have a tool which easily did the job. osmeditor also has cool 
features, but I gave up as I tried to create the same street 6 times 
and the only success was that some segments (but not all) have been 
uploaded. That's not a complaint, it's open source and I can (or even 
not :( ) improve it.

So Nick, I'd better like to see osmeditor improving, but if it comes to 
reality, this simply would last to long. Let's go josm; done.
