OpenStreetMap contributors haven't been happy with anything, for the last 15 years.

There are many positive developments such as good quality satellite imagery and goverment geographic data being offered to OpenStreetMap contributors for integration. An up-to-date aerial image of a city does wonders to the mapping experience. Mapillary's service complements OSM nicely as well as provides an invaluable on-the-ground data source. There's so many happy things in the community I can't possibly list them all.

Agreed, Tranport for London recently built an enormous database of cycling infrastructure to be integrated into OSM. It's an exciting project/collaboration.
