I'll come out and say it: You're Wrong.

Funny thing, MS Streets has NONE of these problems ...

Funny thing, you mean the MS Streets that costs $40 and isn't accessible from any computer except those on which it is installed? That's what I thought... Concerning MSN MapPoint, MapQuest and Yahoo! Maps, they all get it wrong: PEOPLE HATE USING FORMS. Seriously. For every additional form input I have to fill out on a site, I hate using that site 10x more. Not only do all of the above have multiple forms you have to fill out depending on what you want to do (find an address, get directions, find a business), but each of the forms has multiple fields! People don't want to use that crap! I want to type "pizza in cleveland, oh" and see all the nearest pizza places. I want to type "cleveland, oh to rochester, ny" so I can see how to go visit my friend. Visual interface aside, this is the biggest reason I use Google Maps above everything else -- friendly input (and less input in general) is the future, not nitpicking over which name for a street is more popular. Google gets it right with a single line of input.
