I think Justin is right.
The OSM community lacks an inspiring vision towards the future
of OSM. Instead of focusing on GEO-data and MAP usability,
the last 2 years to many of the key players of OSM have been focusing on only one
topic : the license change.
How can any potential user of OSM get a good impression of what is
possible from the base map ?
And indeed, mentioning Mapnik as a base
layer is too much honour for the software creating it.
Thank you Justin, for the effort you put in showing where we actually
fail. Communicating with our potential users !
Lets learn our lessons, and create some kind of working group
focusing on that. If we can get as many people motivated for
this topic as there were for the license change, our showcase, the
base map will improve quickly.

Basically your critique can be drilled down to 3 main components:
