Someone attempted to re-develop JOSM (as "JOSM-ng") in 2008 and even then (with JOSM having a fraction of the features it has today) it didn't get anywhere ;) I recently (on josm-dev) said that the actual code is not the essence of JOSM, but the UI and workflow. I said that the actual language in which it was written is irrelevant and that it could probably rewritten if need be. But this was an opinion not widely shared among other participants of the mailing list, and I guess they know what they're talking about. Writing a new piece of software that fully mimicks an existing program is likely to be easier than developing a new editor from scratch, but it's still a lot of work, and I don't currently see the need. I guess there will be workarounds for many of the issues you mention, and some issues are not work-around-able - for example, if your IT admin decides that you should not be able to install software locally for security reasons, then it is hard to envisage any kind of "offline editor" working well. C# won't save you here.
