There's now a new and easy-to-use in-browser editor, iD; clicking "edit" on the "default" OSM slippy map gets you there by default, and it even has a walk-through for first-time users: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/51.5011/-0.0194

(As for me, I prefer jOSM - more complex, Java-based, not in-browser; more powerful in various ways: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Download )

Wow, that's really cool. I just added one road that was missing in the neighborhood.

Yup. For small edits, this is perfect - it's in-browser, well integrated with the default map, plus it has a satellite layer by default :)

iD is fine for lots of edits. It's only when you what to lots of complex things (like relations, administrative boundaries etc) that you should break out JOSM

This indeed looks very cool, thank you and your sibling comment very much!
