Is Merkaartor still viable? In my experience Java-based JOSM is the only stand-alone editor that can deal with all the complexities of OpenStreetMap if you go beyond basic editing in the web-based ID or various feedback mechanisms of apps like StreetComplete.

Barely anyone uses Merkaartor, but the project is not entirely dead; it seems to receive some updates. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Editor_usage_stats https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Editor_usage_stats

  Just curious, how much of those editors (except Merkaartor) are NON JavaScript/Java-based?

Vespucci for Android also works in general, I heard good things about "Go Map!!" for Apple devices. Potlatch 3 is also existing but I never used it. level0 may be ridiculous to mention, but it is actually useful and in some cases more powerful

To answer the question: no. OpenStreetMap is constantly evolving in many dimensions. A fully fledged editor requires a significant investment to remain current (think at least one FTE).

I preferred Merkaartor to JOSM when I was using them.
