OpenStreetMap
After using iD editor for quite some time, I decided to try JOSM. Getting it to run went smooth as oil, added the bg layer I work with easily and decided to tweak the settings a bit. Noticed a LOT of plugins, but I was looking for something specific, and found it, the awesome Area Selector plugin.
I was AMAZED by the accuracy it provides (all hail computers and technology) and it helped me tremendously. My buildings creation rate went up by at least 20x and mapping is so much easier.
Thanks to all the devs that worked on JOSM and the plugin creators (thnx to OSM too, ofc).

You might also be interested in the BuildingsTools plugin.

Are you me? Haha, I too made the switch on the exact same day. It’s very powerful, but I do have a bucket list of improvements I would like to see. I currently still need to set turn restrictions with iD. I’m also not the biggest fan of Java, but I’ll take it.
Plugins sound amazing, not tried any yet but the BuildingTools one mentioned in comments looks great!

+1 (or even more) from my side.
I’ve been using JOSM for more than 10 years now - great tool.
@ClipArtJoel: try the “turnrestriction” plugin.
