@zverik @flub OSM as a whole has, very very, limited development (in a wide sense of the word) resources. How they are allocated is not irrelevant for the future of the project (and that doesn't apply to editing apps alone).
And while user numbers are just one possible metric for how well those resources are being used, I suspect it is the least controversial one.
@simon @flub This reminds me of, "why do you map your own home when there are entire cities with no map?!"
OSM is primarily a volunteer-driven project, and you cannot make volunteers do things they don't like.
(I'd argue it is now a corporation-driven project, because they do have money and developers.)
Also, nothing happens in OSM by chance. You want it — you make it. Virtually no money or resources is "allocated" apart from 3 people we have employed. You want change — you go and make it.
