As someone who's learnt both colemak and dvorak in the past, it is my opinion that the utility of being able to use qwerty anywhere, at any computer, without having to adjust settings or install and configure keymaps, far outweighs any purported advantages of either colemak or dvorak or any other exotic layout.

That said, other people's situations will differ from mine, and I can see why you would switch if you were say, writing slabs of prose in seclusion, or lived in a country that is majority non-qwerty already.

I have completed KYC for numerous exchanges, it is not impossible at all, no more than opening a bank account is impossible. I don't think current market prices have anything at all to do with KYC.

there seems to be no obvious way to suggest missing destinations. Unless Maps.Me use their own database for business listings, you just edit the map directly from openstreetmap.org or one of the many fat client map editors that are out there.

Defacing the wikipedia page isn't a productive way to vent your frustration, but I can sympathise with why those vandals are frustrated. I wanted to view the Australian electrical wiring standards document only to find it cost something like $200 for a single document. I was able to obtain the NZ version, which is nearly identical, for free. Personally, I would have paid up to $30 without too much complaining.

I don't need or use any of those things that Google has over the competition. And frankly, the majority of those features are well past what constitutes "mapping" in my opinion. Apple maps are accurate and up to date and their directions are mostly right. Bing maps are accurate and up to date and their directions are mostly right. From my own limited experience, OSM maps are more up to date than Google's in heavily populated areas.

There is a huge difference between sounding like an advanced feminine product, which from your follow up post is what you're getting at with the iPad comment, and using BOOM in the name of a company in an industry that has lots of dramatic media coverage and footage of mid-air explosions, landing explosions, explosions just after take off, and so on.
