Last week I was driving with my sister and she said, looking at OsmAnd: "What app is this? I don't understand anything on that map!". I think that it takes some time to get used to OsmAnd map style, but it's very clear after you understand it (clearer than Organic Maps, in my opinion).

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).
