Thanks so much for running those numbers! Actual data is helpful in a conversation that has contained quite a few assumptions.
(Continuing the assumption trend...) Anecdotally, as someone who only became an active editor last year, I found P2 more accessible than JOSM as a new contributor. I had an experienced contributor show me how to use both, but would usually default to P2. I could tell that JOSM was more feature-rich, but I found it overwhelming. I felt "safer" in P2 as i was getting started. I'm not a new contributor anymore, but I think that iD is following this trend. Even now, I almost always default to iD when I'm editing-- the cleaner interface is less overwhelming to me, and it's very rare that I'm doing something that isn't supported by iD.
