Productive feedback on the iD issue tracker follows a similar trajectory to
that on the talk list.  It's not really working there either.
There seem to be fairly deep seated differences in the philosophy of
on-boarding new mappers, and those reflect themselves in iD's user
interface.  Since iD was awarded prime spot on osm, and since it's
development is tightly held, everyone else is left with no outlet other
than to complain.

OSM is a very open project in general, but iD's development is very tightly
held and opinionated.

"Fear uncertainty and doubt" implies the criticism is invalid.
