Hey everybody

Moderation pause. 
I think we've exhausted the points of view on browsers and iD, the points are registered, and are drifting pretty off topic. 

Thanks
Mikel & Moderators

>>The problem here is that there are now too many browsers and none as yet follow the latest 'standards' fully, while many of us are still using set-ups that we are more than happy with and simply have no reason to change. iD needs to mature and get a better user base before it can be CONSIDERED to be made the default! We know the limitations of P2, can handle them and support new users. Learning something new takes time which many of us do not have spare.

Someone buying an iPad or a current Android tablet doesn't have the ability to use flash and Linux support has been discontinued so I think it's great that OSM is moving away from a flash based editor.
