The ratio/prioritisation of detail in cities to shorelines seems oddly skewed towards including more cities over having accurate borders or shorelines
It's showing an entire province in the Netherlands as disconnected from the rest of the country, like it's an island (it's not), but knows to name five cities inside of that province, several of which basically on top of each other. (The inclusion of the afsluitdijk, on the other hand, is unnecessary detail imo but I get that it's hard to programmatically select those tweaks about what's considered land which it needs to draw and just some sea infrastructure)
I should open a ticket on the issue tracker but am not logged in on mobile so the best I can do atm is an HN comment. If someone else has a moment and feels the same way, feel free to cite this comment towards shifting the ratio a little! Or introducing a minimum separation distance between cities, or getting a smaller overall file, whatever the ideal solution may be but the current ratio is a tad unnecessary
