To be honest I would hazard a guess that most people have a favourite "start" terrain for all maps, and that would either be meadow of some sort, water or plains. I can't imagine that most people would want to choose different start terrains each time.

Not really. So far, I built 6 maps, 3 of which i haven't uploaded yet. And I always used different base terrain. Respectively, one type of desert, another type of desert, mountain meadow, winter water, desert water 2x (but if I could rebuild one map I'd make it summer water). In 3 of the maps I didn't change all the map to the base terrain because there wasn't such a high prevalence, but it could have saved a bit of time. Anyway I don't see why the program should restrict my choice, especially when it doesn't seem any easier. I suppose letting one pick among all exhisting terrains should actually be easier than letting one pick among all terrains minus some.

OK, all terrains it is then. The question now is, do we want multiple tabs, or do we just keep the long list?

We could also have a "Remember this terrain" button, or have the editor just always remember which terrain you picked last time when you created a new map and then preselect it from the list.

I prefer multiple tabs face-smile.png (let's wait for other votes!)

If all types of terrains is wanted, then we should use the same tabs as they are in editor (sorted by biome) face-smile.png

I'm easy, but feel that a "remember this selection for next time" tag is important.

why so? once the function to initialize the map is implemented, it would take 5 seconds to change all the terrain to the desired one. 10, tops. once every time you start a map. and only if yoou want to use the same base terrain of the previous one. coding it would take more time than it could ever posisbly save.
