I have Organic Maps loaded on both phones, but I haven't made the switch because it just is not as easy for me to use. Now that I am in a foreign country where businesses almost never have their own websites, the reviews being tied into Google Maps also makes a difference.
I don't know if OSM has a way for there to be open reviews of places, with photos of the place and menu, their wares, and their hours.
You could beat Google in Albania if you included cycle route info, too.
