I didn't realise open street map had made so much progress, the demo page looks really nice. The satellite view is not very detailed where I was checking but other than that I'm very impressed with the offering.

Maptiler is not OpenStreeMap - they're one of the many companies who productize OSM.

Which is exactly the way it's meant to be.

I didn't understand that part. If I remember right, the open street map website used to have a demo page of their own. In any case I'm very happy to see this.

Openstreetmap is just the underlying data - absolutely anyone can come along and build a program to draw images from it. That's why OSM is so powerful, and what distinguishes it from Google maps etc.

That, and OSM helps you find things other than retail outlets.
