Depends on what you want from the map. I'd like a map to look good when using it and I don't think OSMand achieves that. But that's personal taste.. Editing it I actually prefer Carto or even the raw import in JOSM.

Sure. But I like OsmAnd because I can tell very fast which are major roads and which aren't (and driving in a big city you don't know it can be useful).
