And finally we should work on reduction of the fear to make things wrong, as I think, that fear is growing with growing complexity of existant data.
I consider myself fairly comfortable with the editing tools, but recently while attempting to enter data from survey obtained during travel, I was completely intimidated by the cluster of landuse + admin boundary + "Communications infrastructure" imports. I believe other tools place these on separate layers to avoid information overload.
Next time I travel to that region again, I won't bother to survey; it's too much hassle to try to enter information in the tangled jumble of lines.
I agree with those who have experienced mixed results after importing land use data - think 3 times before bringing it into your area, if at all. If you just want 'colored maps' for your region, it should be possible to combine these at render time.
