Nah, but a new editor (iD, JOSM) may bring you a better experience.

Comment from freebeer
off-topic, but iD expects a lot more than the three screen updates per second my notwork connection offers. I have edited locally with iD invoked from Opera, but as soon as I pan to a nearby node, forget it.
.
My comment refers to the poisoning of what should be a constructive, coöperative working relationship with new mappers, now turned to distrust or outright - forgive me - hatred for the vandalism of a handful of mappers trying to cheat at Pokémon Go, that extends to any mention of the name or, in this case, Niantic... which fortunately after snidely dismissing the note I resolved, I took a closer look at the area to make this legit change.
This loss of trust, as well as the us-versus-them mentality I'd prefer limited to vandals, is what I regret most. Particularly as a number of Pokémon mappers contribute nowt but positive mappings.
If my instinctive response to any Note mentioning Niantic is as it was here, I would rather retire from mapping, Notes slashing-and-burning, and leave things to more sane, level-headed, and especially patient and tolerant mappers.
For that is what OSM should be.
Amen and all that.
