This is not new, just writing and pinning it here so I can point people to this.
#OpenStreetMap's site has one big problem: people think it's an alternative to GMaps, while it's in fact a technology demonstrator.
* The map itself does not show all types of features, and adding new features is a nontrivial process.
* The search widget talks to a georeferencer which can find some type of features by names and resolve addresses, but can't find generics like 'butcher'.
