I agree John - JOSM should be encouraged for building mapping. I do not think it deserves a difficult reputation.
An awesome and easy to use feature (besides the building tool of course) is the filter: setting one to hide all building=* makes it really easy to flip all buildings on/off. This makes it easier to see buildings you may have missed.
