With something like iD spoon feeding new mappers with suggested
presets the impact is much greater if something isn't quite right or
the "directions" are not crystal clear and let's face it not all
mapper's first language is English and reading through instructions is
not fashionable in some quarters.
That's not borne out by what I see with a DWG hat on - we get to see
quite a lot of complaints about problems caused by new mappers, and
complaints about mistagging due to an editor preset in iD is pretty
rare. New mappers making faux pas due to misunderstanding JOSM, on the
other hand, is pretty common. That doesn't mean that one editor is
inherently "good" and the other "bad" - they're different tools for
different jobs.
