@zverik @bdon @openstreetmap Honestly I feel like your views align with Rapid a lot. The entire idea is to build an editor that supports mappers better. It doesn't force anybody to edit in a certain way, to use AI data, it just make things available and gives great UX, or aims to.

@cbed @bdon @openstreetmap Frankly, Rapid is an import tool designed to circumvent Import Guidelines. It looks awesome, it's fast and great to use, you feel powerful with it. But the core function is large-scale imports. It primarily supports data consumers, not mappers.

Like, the "Rapid" button is still the centerpoint of the UI.

And I've written that in editors (and extracts), we're pretty much covered (though always not enough). Everything else suffers, e.g. changes management.

@zverik @bdon @openstreetmap I think that is wrong. An import is an import. A user inspecting data to see if it is individually fit to add to the map is mapping/digitising. I do the same with EveryDoor when I look at a shop and add it to the map, never getting very precise (every fire hydrant is probably 50cm off).

The center of the UI is the map, the Rapid button is a tiny part. AI data is like a 2% part. This has been explicitly written about the new releases, and dropping of MapWithAI name.
