I have faced formal learning things by using tool A at first because it
'is easy', then the next year learning tool B because 'we' needed to do
more complex things, then the next year learning tool C because 'we'
needed to do the most complex things...
on numerous subjects... taught in formal subjects.
Having to learn tools A and B were a waste of my time .. give the choice
if I think I'm going to be around to need the more complex tools I go
straight for tool C.
I have never bothered with ID .. I went straight for tool JOSM.

As a new mapper around just long enough to know that I've made some

editor is the the go-to editor for newbies, myself included, and the
snap feature is so apparent in the UX that I have regularly taken its
steer and made new objects follow old nodes.
Presumably it would be possible to have some 'sticky' features that
aren't so easily modified - these boundaries would seem to be a good
candidate; so would roads when they've been rigorously established
from multiple data sources.
And/or perhaps a warning in iD that flags the pros and cons of
snapping to existing nodes, and/or gives the option of a
bulk-undo/bulk-disconnect if you've done that and thought better of it.
