What problems do you find with OSM?

I am a map-data contributor and am somewhat blinkered as a result. What's missing or clunky from the perspective of general users?

The main problem I faced with OSM is search. When I enter the name of the street it takes me to the random city which has the street with the same name. Google limits search results to the city I'm currently in

Oops, yes, same problem.

When searching in a city for a street name, the search results should not be a ranking that has a street in a city around the world as its first result.
