I think that's absolutely fair comment, but osm.org isn't deliberately hard-to-use - it's just that not a vast amount of effort has gone into the frontend. If you enjoy hacking on the codebase then contributions are very much welcome. It would be great to get some of the mobile CSS issues sorted, for example. The main site is Rails and JS, while Nominatim (the search backend) has bits of Python and PHP. Happy to give further pointers if you're interested.

- Aachen 4y ago> osm.org isn't deliberately hard-to-use That's what I heard, though, or more specifically that it's not meant to replace google maps in the first place and is more of a data showcase than a proper product. Of course I could be wrong, would be interesting to know
