While the map quaility may have some weight as to why people use
Google (or Bing for that matter) I suspect the bigger problem is the
User Interface.
We have a good UI for map making maps but the API for rending and
searching the maps is hmm well complicated.
Part of the problem stems from there

While OSM is extremely powerful and present us with limitless
posibilities, I very much doubt that every user would set up an own
tile server and write a rendering definition. In fact most irregular
users (like the ones getting a static map to show the location of
their office at a website) will
The style I mentioned below was made by turning the buildings off using the
CloudMade Style Editor, which is a lot easier and significantly faster than
changing a stylesheet and setting up a tile server. I have used Web Maps Lite
(similar to OpenLayers) on my own site, with tiles coming from
