Why Potlatch? (and why not?)
Potlatch is intended as an easy-to-learn editing environment for drawing ways and adding metadata to existing ways. A clear, uncluttered user interface is paramount for this audience, and the layout draws on the familiar conventions of the existing Slippy Map.
It's not intended for power users (who are already excellently served by JOSM), people who want the speed of a desktop client, or those who don't like Flash. Nonetheless, since Potlatch and JOSM are developed separately, some innovations do make their way into Potlatch first, ranging from the simple (remove a node from one way alone) to the complex (editing history). An increasing number of experienced OSMers use Potlatch as a supplement to JOSM for instant editing, and a few use it as their principal editor.
As a very rough rule of thumb, Potlatch is easier for quick edits, and better for edits which range over a wide area (e.g. cycle routes). JOSM is better for heavy-duty editing in a concentrated area (e.g. housing estates) and offers facilities for audio and photo surveying. But everyone will have their own preferences.
