I don't really mind having Mapillary in there, but if you do, you'd have to mention OpenStreetCam as well, of course.
When I go out to survey using making Mapillary pictures, it's true I'm not adding data using Vespucci or Walking Papers, but I wouldn't do those things anyway. Making automated picture sequences doesn't really get in the way of what I'm actuallly doing, cycling, or walking. When couch mapping they are often really handy to have and work with, so I definitely helps us. Aerial imagery is great, but even at high resolution it's not possible to see every detail on it.
