Thanks for giving the project a look. In the long term, I think a 
credible OpenHistoricalMap project will be valuable to OSM as an outlet 
for this kind of information that people will inevitably want to map. 
It's good for us to know what we're sending history-minded mappers into.

I'm not surprised that you found major ergonomic issues. OSM 
unsurprisingly gets more attention from software developers than OHM, 
and not all of the OSM software that OHM forks was originally designed 
to be forked. If you have time to write up your experiences in OHM's 
central issue tracker [1], it could have a concrete impact on the project.

Some good news: the iD fork is being redone based on the latest version 
of iD, with more usable customizations than before. [2] The development 
team is working on some deployment issues, but the new version should be 
live soon.
